Who are we? Mandrin is a craft brewery created in 2002 while the craft beer rebirth was just starting in France, and is now one of the well established breweries among 800 French breweries. Beer has been recognized as part of France’s cultural heritage. All Mandrin beers are hand-crafted, brewed with natural ingredients. No chemicals, no preservatives, no artificial flavors. With a very rich taste and subtle notes, they should not be compared with industrial beers. They deserve a beer-tasting rather than just a beer-drinking. Fun fact: the Mandrin© trademark refers to Louis Mandrin, a French “Robin Hood” from the 18th century.

Who are we? The Fournier cider story started in 1943 in the heart of Normandy, among a green valley and a few strong hills. With apple and pear trees growing naturally on the hills for centuries, it was a place of choice for the Fournier family to plant and grow their orchard. 70 years later, the family still selects only the best fruit varieties to give character, authenticity, and quality to their ciders, respecting the spirit with which the family started the brand: love for the land, the orchards, qualitative fruits and a product well made

Who are we? Vermouth Routin was born in 1883 of Philibert Routin, a brilliant herbalist who devised a unique mix of more than 25 plants from the Alps. Despite the competition, Vermouth Routin proved just the right recipe to endure. While there were more than 10 Vermouth producers in Chambery in the 1930s, only two remain today. 130 years later, Vermouth Routin still personifies the authenticity of the very first French vermouths.
