Rue Beer

Many Parisian beers are surprisingly good. Paris’s beer scene is vibrant and growing. It offers a unique blend of creativity and innovation. This isn’t just about quenching your thirst. Parisian beer is sophisticated and complex. Good beer has arrived in Paris. This is a far cry from the past. Paris once had a vibrant beer culture. Brasseries were originally breweries. They were opened by Alsatian immigrants. They brought their love for beer to the capital. This tradition was sadly lost. Some Parisians deeply feel this lack of brewing tradition. Two beers named after long-gone Parisian breweries recently launched. Gallia and Demory are the names. Neither is brewed in the city. Both producers have ambitious plans to change that. The handful of mediocre beers available are incredibly expensive. It’s not unusual to pay €4.50 for half a pint. This high price allows craft beer bars to compete. They offer a superior product. La Fine Mousse is a prime example. It boasts Paris’s biggest craft beer range. It offers 20 taps and over 150 bottles. Many of these beers are French. This is in stark contrast to older beer venues. They often focus on Belgian beers. This focus has led to confusion. Many people wrongly believe they know beer because of Belgian beer. La Fine Mousse challenges these preconceptions. It serves beers in 25cl glasses costing around €3.50. Volceleste Blonde is made not far from Paris. It’s a refreshing beer with honey and citrus notes. La Fine Mousse’s ambiance differs from classic bars. The taps are placed on the back wall to promote interaction. They fight to convince Paris that beer is more than just thirst quencher. Parisian craft beer is a story of resilience and innovation. It’s a delight for beer lovers. Every pint tells a unique story.
