Hachette Bières
“Topped with a dense head, this beer has an opaque orange color. The malty aroma is pleasantly fruity. On the palate, the extremely fine effervescence reveals a velvety texture. The flavor of roasted malts makes this beer very approachable; it is recommended for those who do not enjoy bitterness.” (Le Guide Hachette des Bières)

About the estate:
Located between the Bugey Mountains, the Dombes ponds, and the Bresse region—home to the blue-footed chicken—this brewery, formerly known as Maison de Brasseur, changed its name in the summer of 2015. Its new name is inspired by the river where it was founded. It is now located at the heart of Patrice Pobel’s farm, where he has diversified his barley cultivation to brew his beers. He gives each of his creations a name representative of the Ain region: cultivating the heritage of the place where one lives is, in his view, essential. His beers, which have won numerous awards, are well-known and firmly established in the department. Since 2012, in Vonnas, restaurateur Georges Blanc has been recommending Rivière d'Ain to accompany roasted Bresse chicken.
