‘About’ pages are fascinating, don’t you think? This one will involve plenty of pictures.
Let’s see. Where shall I start?
This is a site dedicated to the tradition, history, language and culture of French Beer.
French Beer?
Travel with me, your humble author and taste what French breweries, from the micro to the menacing, have to offer. Traverse the regions of this admittedly beautiful landscape and discover the well known traditions of beer brewing, like the German influenced Alsatian lagers.
French?
Try the lesser known old style beers of Britanny, an Espelette spiced beer from the south west, a strong yet light bière de Garde, a stout brewed in the Alps or even chestnut flavoured ale from Corsica (I hope you’re feeling thirsty).
Beer?
Find the best French beer to pair with your meal. Learn how to order a pint using the swishest slang the streets have to offer. Avoid the vineyards and cheese mongers for a while and find out why France should have a world beating reputation for great beer.

In short, France’s centuries old history of beer brewing deserves a look that goes way beyond Eric Cantona sipping a 1664.
