Most beer sold in France is pilsner lager, mass-produced by major breweries which control over 90% of the market, although there are also traditional beer styles, such as top-fermented Bière de Garde, and a number of microbreweries.
- Kronenbourg / 1664: the Most Famous. Probably the most famous French beer, the “Kro’ ” is an industrial beer that can be found everywhere. Kronenbourg owns the brand ‘1664’ which is very appreciated by the French and which I will also talk about.
- Despérados. Desperados (we say “Despé”) is a beer born in 1995 in Alsace in a brewery that has since been bought by Heineken France. It is a beer oriented towards young people, its tequila aromas, its powerful, subtle, and unique taste has seduced the youth market as expected.
- Pelforth. The Pelforth Brewery (The Pelican Brewery) was born in 1921 in Lille out of the association of Louis Boucquey, Armand Deflandre and Raoul Bonduel.
- Adelscott. French beer originally brewed by the Fischer brewery in Alsace. Since it was bought by Heineken France it is brewed by the brewery of l’espérance, in Schiltigheim in the Bas-Rhin.
Oct 3, 2024 · France has a rich beer tradition, especially in the north. Farmhouse brewers made Bières de Garde in winter, saving them for summer. Now, a craft beer revival is happening nationwide. Regional breweries are reinventing classic styles, revitalizing France’s brewing heritage.
A traditional drink in the North and East of France. Similarly to wine, beer can be sampled and enjoyed. Whether it’s white, golden or orange, French beer clearly has its own savoir-faire which gains more respect each day.
- La Bière des sans Culottes – Nord Pas de Calais. The first up on my top 10 French beers is a strong one. And with 9%ABV they’re not kidding around at La Choulette Brewery either.
- La Cagole – Marseille. Hailing from Marseille in the south of France, La Cagole is a well-known microbrewery making three varieties of beer. Their most popular is the blonde ale which is refreshing and crisp.
- Bière des Trois Monts – Nord Pas de Calais. Easily one of the top 10 French beers is the hearty Trois Monts. This specific type of beer is called a bière de garde and was designed to be aged once bottled.
- Licorne Black Beer – Alsace. One of the more original ones on my top 10 French beers is actually a black beer. Picture a Guinness in color, and add a subtle smokiness to the flavor and you’ve got Licorne Black Beer.
Discover the beers of Northern France through micro-brewery like Daniel Thiriez, Esquelbecq, at the Estaminet de Kerelshof, Cassel or follow Lille’s beer route.
Jul 11, 2023 · The landscape of French beer is as rich and varied as the country’s cuisine. From the elegant Bière de Garde of Northern France to the refreshing Saisons of Wallonia, French beers are a testament to the country’s innovative spirit and respect for tradition.
