If you're a beer lover, you've probably heard of Gallia, the local brewery in the Paris region! For the passionate and the curious, it's possible to discover the secrets of brewing at the Pantin site, through guided tours and tastings. It's also an opportunity to stop off at the brewery's festive taproom!

Gallia beer is undoubtedly a regular feature of youraperitifs in the Paris region. This craft beer, which has always been brewed in the Ile-de-France region, and more specifically in Pantin since 2015, allows you to drink in moderation and, above all, locally! Although the Gallia brewery was established in Paris's 14th arrondissement in 1890, it recently moved to a former boilermaking workshop.

In 1896, the Gallia brewery was the largest in the capital, winning a gold medal at the Universal Exhibition four years later. In the early 1960s, competition became fierce and the brewery was destroyed, but two beer lovers, Guillaume Roy and Jacques Ferté, took over the brand, because there was a lack of realParisianbeer on the scene!

For about an hour and a quarter, you can enjoy a guided tour of the bar and brewery, as well as a tasting of four different drinks on site, which is why the tour is only open to adults. The program includes an explanation of the ingredients needed to make a good beer, the manufacturing process, and the brand's different recipes. You'll become an expert on Gallia beer!

In addition, the Gallia bar is open all week, with a great music program, cabarets, and an in-house comedy club! It's a chance to enjoy a unique experience, tasting freshly brewed beers at the source, directly from the producer to the consumer!
