It showcases the vibrant craft beer scene in Paris, produced by small, independent breweries using traditional brewing methods, with a focus on quality, flavor, and innovation. These breweries typically produce limited quantities of beer and prioritize using high-quality hops, malted barley, and yeast.
The result are brews characterized by its unique flavors, aromas, and styles, which can range from traditional styles like lagers and ales to more experimental styles like sour beers, IPAs, and stouts. The craft beer movement has gained popularity in recent years, with many beer enthusiasts seeking out new and interesting flavors and supporting local, independent breweries.
