I'm sure there'll be a form to fill in, oh you're in France, many forms to apply for forms for insurances and certificates and inspections and permissions and the mayor's wife wants a new hat....

Mayors' wives need (nay, demand!) more than a new hat these days. I say dont think about it, do it!

I think he was suggesting to a small scale commercial venture supplying the local bars. The French are bound to have a Govt ministry for such a thing.

yeh
micro brewing works for some folk
and drinking good mistakes is a bonus

More I think about this the more I like it. Done 4 batches this month and to be fair 2 weren't as good as the other 2. I may start putting the good stuff down in the cellar and open the doors to the public once I have a good stock down there. It will only ever be a hobby brewery but I wouldn't want more than that.

Real Ale en France anyone?

What sort of quantities are you looking for? You are perhaps better off talking to small established brewers than here. AFAIK, there is nobody here that produces beer commercially. I expect we can recommend a few though...

France is a long way south: is probably right they should be drinking shandy.

I know a family in the Aveyron that have their own brewing business...I've tasted their stuff & it's good (but I'm easy pleased) They do three types of bottled beer, not just the girly lager-type stuff I can get their details to you if you wish They are French, but despite this major obstacle, they brew good beer

low abv beer does not store or travel well but there are a few half decent yorkshire brews that have a decent taste but are ok in hot weather

iirc most are called "mild" and were often intended for foundry workers,miners etc so as they could rehydrate on the way home from work

this teammake a variety of stuff and some of the pale ale and the simpleton session ale are about the abv you are looking for,maybe drop em an email.
