White Beer
3 Little Birds

Amber Beer
Can't Stop - Limited Edition - Winter
With its amber-red color, caramel notes from the malts, and aromas of gingerbread and mulled wine, this winter beer—or Christmas beer if you prefer—will be the ideal companion to warm you up by the fireside. Jamaican Allspice is the star here; contrary to what its name might suggest, this spice is not spicy at all. It's a sweet and aromatic spice, full of flavors that evoke the warm notes of a quatre-épices blend.

Amber Beer
Si Canti
A tribute to the wild boar that led to the discovery of the salt spring of Salies de Béarn, hence the motto "Si you nou eri mourt, arres n'y bibéré" — "If I hadn't died there, no one would live there." A smooth beer with powerful aromas from caramelized malts. These are accentuated by a subtle hint of Salies salt.
Bitterness: Low - 25 IBUs
Hops: Cascade & Chinook
Alcohol: 5.6%
Aroma Profile: Caramel, licorice, chocolate
Pairings: Warm goat cheese salad (with walnut bread), duck breast, raspberry sorbet or vanilla ice cream
Mimited Edition - Fall
Voilà l'été (Here comes Summer)
This refreshing blonde beer is crafted with wild hops hand-picked in the Beigmau district of Salies. Hallertau Mittelfrueh, a very old hop variety, is used to manage the bitterness so that the wild hops can provide the aromas. The hops were added fresh during brewing. On the nose, you'll discover spicy and even fruity aromas that will evolve depending on the annual harvest.

Hops: Hallertau Mittelfrueh, Wild Hops (from Francis)
