Known for American IPA

Founded in 2014 by mountain guide Jack Geldard in Chamonix-Mont-Blanc to fill a gap in the valley: great craft beer for the outdoor community. Grew to a custom-designed modern brewery in Cluses, 40 minutes from Chamonix. Operates Basecamp — a flagship bar with 20 taps, on-site micro-brewery, and Mont Blanc views. Brews with clear Alpine mountain water. Ranked 25th best microbrewery in France on Untappd.
