Our Story
In 1993, a home brewing kit was purchased and the seed was planted for the bigger dream. Today, that dream is Orléans’ local micro-brewery where beer is brewed with the best products possible.
Our ambition is to place the ingredients at the heart of our creative process and to let their characteristics express themselves simply and harmoniously.
BEER
The malts and hops used are selected from the best varieties around the world, according to their aromatic and taste profiles. No additives, dyes, preservatives and extracts are involved in our production process.
FOOD
The spices, the ingredients and the people are the most important components of every dish we prepare.
THANK YOU for joining us on this ride.
