CRAFTING
REAL ALE

Our brewery is located deep in the Normandy countryside near Bayeux (between Le Molay-Littry and Trevieres) and focuses on the new craft approach to brewing beer.

Our facilities and experience allow us to not only create modern craft beers but also provides a space for aspiring brewers, offering them the chance to produce their own commercial beers on site.

Thinking of starting a Normandy brewery – we can help.

Head Brewer and Cheers Leader Lisle Wallace will guide you on creating your own custom recipe, which can be mass produced in the heart of the beautiful and historic region of Normandy.

WHAT WE DO

Best Ingredients
Sourcing the best Hops from around the globe allows VHBC to produce some amazing and unique flavour profiles. Also experimenting with new Hop varieties and products (such as Cryo Hops) means we are constantly evolving our beers and techniques. Our Malts are similarly sourced from the best suppliers and are always the freshest on the market and have full traceability
Farming Practices
BN's gift to the local community (aside from fantastic beer) is our spent grain - tonnes of the best used barley is given to the local cows and sheep....a mutual deal which allows us to dispose of our waste ethically but also lowers the feed costs incurred by the local farmers...and maybe makes them taste a little better!
Our Process
As a modern brewery we not only use new and innovative ingredients but also techniques, looking at Hop cannons, different dry hopping schedules (often Double dry hopping (DDH)), yeast cultivation, ageing and maturation techniques.
Atmosphere
The brewery wants to support brewers at all levels including homebrewers - think you could run a small homebrew club from the brewery then just let us know. Are you an experienced homebrewer unsure about how to start a commercial brewery? We can help with free advice but also practical training or the use of our equipment.
