    La Brasserie des Voirons / LUG

    Lucinges, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France

    Implantée dans le centre de Lucinges en Haute-Savoie entre Mont-Blanc et Lac Leman, la Brasserie des Voirons a été reprise en 2011 par Christophe, un passionné de cuisine et autodidacte. Son âme réside dans l’eau qui provient de la continuité de la nappe phréatique d’Évian. Cette eau donne à nos bières une qualité exceptionnelle. Nous réalisons un brassage manuel, favorisant ainsi un contact avec la matière et la sauvegarde de l'artisanat. Nous privilégions des ingrédients locaux, biologiques et issus de cueillettes sauvages. Nous favorisons des fermentations et élevages longs, ce qui confère à nos bières une structure, un potentiel de garde et une profondeur aromatique

    Brasserie Artisanale de Grilly

    Grilly, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France

    Bar l'Échappée Belle We are a micro brewery in the Pays de Gex in France, owned by two passionate brewers. After almost a full year of hard work to change an old Renault garage into a working brewery and bar, the doors opened in February 2018. The original name L'Échappée Belle turned out to infringe someone's trademark, so the name of the brewery was changed to Brasserie Artisanale de Grilly. Our beers are hoppy, dry and full of taste. We want to make people discover the enormous variety of possible flavours.
