Unveiling the Flavors of Olive: Exploring Artisanal Beer in Centre-Val de Loire

Discovering the Secrets of Crafting Artisanal Beer in Olive

For Corinne and Stéphane, it is time to uncover the secrets behind their favorite drink, artisanal beer. They have been working on perfecting their craft for a year and a half in their Olive-based brewery. The process is intricate and fascinating, starting with the collection of what is known as "drêches," which are the leftover cereal grains after the sugars have been extracted.

Corinne explains, "On one hand, I collect the drêches, which are the depleted cereal grains, and on the other hand, I remove the clear liquid, which is the beer wort. In its simplest form, beer can be seen as a cereal juice that is naturally sweetened. The local authenticity and attention to detail are appreciated by the most curious palates, allowing them to witness the entire process from start to finish, which lasts about a month."

A Region Known for Vineyards and Now Beer

While the region is famous for its vineyards, many people are surprised to discover the brewing of beer. Corinne adds, "It's understandable that many think beer is made in a day and requires little patience, but in reality, brewing beer takes four to five weeks. However, patience pays off."

Passionately producing their blonde and amber beers, Corinne and Stéphane have managed to market their creations, along with a thousand other beer varieties, attracting both consumers and professionals in the region. After a challenging 18 months with a 40% decrease in revenue, they are eagerly awaiting the upcoming months and the return of September to bring new opportunities.

Laure, a loyal customer, shares her excitement, "I've been waiting for this brewer to take orders for nine months. After such a tough time, it's great to see the activity picking up again. I believe the fall season will bring great things for the brewery."

A Focus on Quality and Volume

When it comes to brewing beer, quality and volume are of utmost importance. Corinne emphasizes, "Although the volume is crucial, especially for kegs, what matters the most to us is the end product. We want to deliver the best possible taste to our customers."

For dedicated beer enthusiasts like Jean, the investment in a local beer is worthwhile. "I can taste a slight hint of vanilla in the beer, and I love vanilla, so everything is perfect. Plus, for me, supporting a local business and investing €2000 in a local brew is a no-brainer. In fact, we are even ahead of our sales targets for this beer."

It is essential to remember that consuming beer should always be done responsibly. Whether enjoyed at celebrations or any time during the year, moderation is key. With this in mind, Corinne and Stéphane continue to craft their artisanal beer, offering a delightful taste of Olive's local flavors.
