Ellezelloise

The “Brasserie Ellezelloise” is a young company created on the first of January 1993. The first beer was brewed in the month of July of that year. The small farm where the brewery is established was purchased in 1985 and the preparation of the buildings and acquisition of second hand equipment took 8 years. The success of this project is the result of the passion of Philippe Gerard, the Master Brewer which has been forged over 25 years of experience in beer making in several breweries, and the advice of his father, himself a brewery engineer. ØPhilippe Gerard named his beer “Quintine”, after a witch of Ellezelles, in keeping with its rich folklore. Traditional brewing techniques have been preserved. The brewing method is by infusion, which is the oldest technique. Only basic materials are used : water, barley malt, bitter and aromatic hops, pure yeast base and dextrose. No other ingredients enter into the beer’ s composition.
