Beer is the world's most popular beverage and it exists in every region and in every culture on the planet. Archaeologists have proven that the Egyptians brewed beer about 5,000 years ago.

In France, during the Middle Ages, beer was one of the main beverages, despite the existence of winemaking in numerous regions. It was at this time that specific regional beers appeared. Each town across France had its own beer, prepared with local cereals. La Johannique beer descends from this ancient tradition and without a doubt this product creates a sense of belonging accompanied by a certain pride in the city and the region.

The wheat and corn malts used for brewing this light ale are produced by the Pithiviers malt house. The cereals used are the product of reasoned farming and thereby provide La Johannique beer with its local authenticity and intrinsic qualities. For the second fermentation, taking place in the bottle, La Johannique has chosen to use a heather honey from the La Ferté St. Aubin honey producers.

The unique recipe and the exceptional quality of the ingredients impart a subtle balance of a bitter ale taste and an aromatic gentleness to this light ale. La Johannique is a modern, light and gentle ale, respectful of the finest brewing traditions. The pleasures derived from drinking this beer are those of sharing a local product and having your friends and family discover a traditional, premium quality product.

La Johannique traditionally contains a yeast deposit at the bottom of the bottle, being a sign of a natural and healthy product. The best way of pouring La Johannique is to gently half fill the glass and then to speed up pouring towards the end, to form a head of foam in order to imprison the aromas. Another way of pouring is to gently shake the bottle to mix up the yeast deposit and thereby obtain a truly natural cloudy beer.
