While cider is typically Breton, beer has not said its last word in the corsair city! During your stay in our hotel in Saint-Malo with a sea view, you won't want to say no to an artisanal beverage with a hint of barley or malt?
Just what you need, our team tells you about the three best breweries in Saint-Malo. Tested and approved, as they say.
1. Les Brassins de Saint-Malo, 4 Rue Chateaubriand, Saint-Malo
Les Brassins de Saint-Malo is a traditional microbrewery with a particularly atypical setting, which you absolutely must visit for a tasting!
In a place steeped in history, the owners welcome you and show you how beer is made, from malting to brewing, fermentation and aging.
Les Brassins de Saint-Malo also has a boutique where you'll find a wide range of local beers and products, although you can also taste your favorite beer on site.
Les Brassins de Saint-Malo beers are made from malt, water, hops, yeast, sugar and spices.
2. Brasserie Bosco, Lieu dit Bellevue, Saint-Méloir-des-Onde
In 2015, Mathieu, a farmer-brewer, and Justine, a tavern keeper, settled in Saint-Méloir-des-Onde, just outside Saint-Malo, and launched Brasserie Bosco.
The couple's ambition is to master the barley-malt-beer supply chain, so as to be self-sufficient in raw material sourcing. This means that Brasserie Bosco uses ingredients produced locally; only the hops are not yet grown at Bellevue.
Brasserie Bosco is driven by deep-seated convictions that result in local, responsible and ecological production. No denaturing agents, no artificial flavors, and even fewer clarifiers and antioxidants!
3. Brasserie d'Émeraude, 20 Rue des Artisans, La Richardais
Located eight minutes from Dinard since 2015, Brasserie d'Émeraude is an institution. What's more, it demonstrates that the world of beer is not purely masculine, as the brewery is run by Cédric Cabioc'h and three women (Marie-Claire Mervin, his wife, Cindy Roupie, a long-time friend, and Laure Lepennetier).
Brasserie d'Émeraude produces 300 hectolitres of beer a year. On the menu: a blonde ale, Télés (5.5%), and a red ale, Pylône (6.5%).
