The French brewery was established in 2015. It produces handcrafted beer. Only French high-quality malts and hops are used for the production. The production follows an artisanal and traditional process. All the beers are 100 % pure malt, free from additives, preservatives, artificial sugar and colorants. Two fermentations methods are used to give character to the beers.

The beer is re-fermented and matured in the bottle, without undergoing any filtration or pasteurization treatment. The manufacturing process lasts at least 6 weeks. Beers age in the tanks at least 4 weeks and 2 weeks in the bottle to gain better taste and aroma. The products of the company were recognized in such French competitions as “le concours Général Agricole de Paris”. They have received 4 medals in 5 years (2017: silver medal for the amber beer. 2018: gold medal for the amber beer and bronze medal for the white beer. 2020: bronze medal for the blond beer).

The company is a manufacturer of a wide range of beers in 33cl and 75cl bottles:

• White beer: 4.5% alcohol, pale yellow colour, very refreshing, very little bitterness, bitter orange peels added at the end of the recipe.
• Blond beer: 5 ° alcohol, malty body, very slight bitterness, very slightly peppery bouquet thanks to the addition of seeds of paradise.
• Blond beer: 6 % alcohol, golden colour, very malty body, assumed bitterness.

The distributor can work under exclusive or non-exclusive agreement, depending on what they agree together. And as for the commercial agent, he/she should be in charge of the promotion of the products through its distribution channels. He/she should take care of marketing actions in order to promote the products; and be in charge of communication plan in his/her region.
