Brasserie de la Canoterie

The adventure of the brewery started in 2009 with the wild brewing of two beers in the old wash-house of a hamlet in the Nièvre region, Bonneçon, with and thanks to my friend Vincent.

After several years of amateur brewing, and strong of my professional experience in the pharmaceutical and food industry, I decided to take the step of professionalization with Laila, my partner.

We set up our vats in Clamecy, in the Nièvre, in an old wooden canoe factory, hence the Canoterie. Clamecy is the former floating capital of the Morvan wood which, until the beginning of the 20th century, used to float down the Yonne to heat Paris. Faithful to this tradition, the Canoterie is a beer that sends... wood!

Possible visit of the Canoterie brewery by appointment.
