Paris & Toulouse: Suggestions Appreciated

Graham Green a écrit :

Try also on fr.rec.boissons.bieres. IIRC there's a brewpub in Toulouse (a Frog and Rosbif ?)

yes, & another in Bordeaux (& one in Lisbon too!) I went out to Paris a few years back for an interview to brew at the Toulouse & Bordeaux Frogpubs, but I didn't like the sound of trying to run 2 breweries in different cities.

I've not been to the Toulouse or Bordeaux pubs, but I liked the original Paris Frog&Rosbif; the 2nd one (Frog&Princesse) seemed less distinctive & characterful, the Bercy one wasn't open yet when I was out there last.

Talking of Paris brewpubs, there was an OK one quite near to the Princesse - with lovely copper brewplant & a decent-ish wheat beer IIRC. This was in late 1999, so I don't know if it's still going? cheers, Mike.

Is Frog French for Firkin?

No, IIRC there were a handful of Firkin brewpubs in France, and that was a diffferent company.

For Paris:-

This is a pretty comprehensive list:

I reccommend the Pub St Germain as one of the best beer specialists anywhere (though pricey). The Frog and Princess and O'Neills brewpubs are in the area too. There is a pub near Chatelet metro which serves that rarity of rarities, good Aussie beer, eg Cooper's Stout and a few others. Why isn't there anything like that in London ?
