Briarde Blonde, Brasserie Rabourdin
https://www.brasserierabourdin.com/
Brewed by Brasserie Rabourdin
Style: French Blonde
Seine-et-Marne, Courpalay, France
Hugues and Geneviève Rabourdin founded the brewery in 2001, and produce Bière de Brie with barley from their family farm in Courpalay, in the Île-de-France region in north-central France. Located in the heart of Brie country, an agricultural region that has always been considered the grain store of Paris.
Diversifying into the beer market, they first started offering their beer in local markets and direct to sellers. After training at the IFBM (Institut Français des Boissons, de la Brasserie et de la Malterie) and with the installation of the brewery on the farm, the first Brie beers were produced, by the duo, in June 2001. They stick close to their roots using the local produce sourced from their own farm and with respect to their surrounding environment. All beers have an organic certification produced from pure natural farming.
In 2009, Estelle and Hubert Rabourdin took over the family business with the desire to develop the brewery onto pastures new, expanding the brewery and offering more in the range of craft beers, specifically the La Briarde beer in 2010, and also an IPA and a White Brie beer (which sounds interesting!). Their award winning beers now sell to the rest of the Île-de-France region and onto all of France.
Review: 33cl small glass bottle of Briarde Blonde, Brasserie Rabourdin: 5.7% vol.
Comes in a very stylistic jet black bottle, looks the business. very nice.
On pour first thing you notice is that not a whole lot comes out! Not much from the small bottle, which is a damn shame!
What does come out, is a very hazy and cloudy, golden coloured beer with a smallish white head, with a frothy look, but overall it is a decent looking brew.
Very fruity aroma, not bad.
Tastes very spicy, getting hit with those tastes at the back of the throat.
Hops are also very sweet. All a little sickly, but still manageable and goes down smooth.
Second bottle was in the fridge and came out very cold, which kind of killed the taste. Me bad. Resulting in a very tasteless (but cold) beer!
Overall it is an easy beer to drink, light and enjoyable enough for sure, but not going to set the world alight. Relaxing and refreshing but not getting enough from the small bottle for me to return to in the future!

Not much info on this beer online, needless to say that’s the way they like it in cheap discount beer land, just buy the fucker and dont worry about it.
Aroma is pretty shit, in fact it smells a bit like shit, had the aroma of a fart! Lagery smell, and very metallic on the nose. Not great!
Mad as it is, this area at the beginning of the 20th Century, was France’s leading region for brewing beers with no fewer than 230 breweries, mostly small enterprises. It might be due to the lovely fresh waters and rivers emanating down from the hills and valleys in the area.
Hop’s Cure was brewed to celebrate the 1000th brew of the Ardwen brewery, a landmark moment that the brewery should be well proud of. Called Hop’s Cure as the beverage gave strength and courage to those who drank them, a remedy to cowardice, needed in the dark forests of the Ardennes, what with all those bloody crazy wild boars running around the place!
Eventually settles down, looks much better once calmness kicks in.
Brasserie d’Uberach (Uberach brewery) is the name of an independent microbrewery founded in 1999, founded by Eric Trossat. Eric was a former engineer in a nuclear power plant in Normandy, but lets decide later if his beers have an explosive kick (boom boom!). Getting his qualifications in the brewing process, he produces craft beers out of his base in Uberach, in north-eastern France.
Bottle from Lidl France. Interesting logo of two people kissing, striking. Was a little bit pricey, considering its in Lidl, 3 Euros plus for the bottle, albeit a big bottle of beer.
It is a very nice aroma though, flowery and unusual but nice. Bit of an aphrodisiac, felt a bit horny after it!! LOL
Two brothers, Antoine and Frédéric, with a deep passion for beer and with their agronomy and brewery diplomas in the bag, founded the Brasserie De Sutter in 2008.
Bought in Lidl France. Picture of a chariot on bottle.
Initially on the taste I found it to be a bit dry in the mouth but the more I got into it the more the fruits and the hops came to the fore. It tasted not too bad at all, very long tasting and lies on the tongue for a while, a deep taste in the mouth. Also the sweet malts and fruity notes also make an appearance, but truth be told this beer is all about the hops.
