BRASSERIE DU CASTELLET:<br />
THE SCENT OF PROVENCE<br />
THE TEAM AT THE BRASSERIE DU CASTELLET<br />
Renowned globally for its rosé wines, Provence is<br />
also home to other delicious drinks produced in<br />
this stunning region. Located near the village of<br />
Le Castellet – hence its name – the Brasserie du<br />
Castellet designs, produces and packages all of<br />
its beers on its premises based on environmentally-friendly<br />
principles. Its ingredients, including<br />
Mistral hops and wild rosemary, are carefully<br />
selected. The barley and wheat are sourced in<br />
France. The spelt which grows in the neighbouring<br />
department of Vaucluse is crushed by a mill in the<br />
Bouches-du-Rhône department. The coriander and<br />
orange peel come from the region. The brewery has<br />
installed water purification facilities to treat its<br />
waste water and control its emissions. The spent<br />
grain stemming from the barley after the must<br />
has been racked is given to a local farmer who<br />
uses it to feed his animals. “The brewery was established<br />
in 2018 with the avowed aim of nurturing<br />
our Provençal identity”, stresses Vanessa Cesari,<br />
head of marketing. “Our Fada range uses unique<br />
recipes for its lager, white beer, IPA, Triple and<br />
apricot beers. The lager is brewed with a mixture<br />
of Provence-grown spelt and barley malt. It fully<br />
expresses the fresh, floral aromatic core of Mistral<br />
hops. Its malt notes are balanced by a fine, light<br />
bitterness that people really enjoy”.<br />

CORSE: BEER FROM THE ISLAND<br />
OF BEAUTY<br />
With a history spanning just four years, the Petite<br />
Brasserie de Corse has already made a name for<br />
itself on the Island of Beauty. It was created in<br />
February 2019 with the help of Ghjuvan Petru Piere,<br />
a young brewer who has been instrumental in the<br />
brewery’s growth. Its owner is none other than<br />
winegrower Jean-François Renucci, who also owns<br />
Terra Vecchia and Clos Poggiale. The beer is named<br />
after a nymph born in a neighbouring lagoon. Fast<br />
forward several centuries and the brewery nurtures<br />
