Big Mountain Brewing Co.
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.

How we measure this
Two thresholds are at work here:
- The signature list shows notes that recur in at least 6% of this brewery's beers. A low bar — enough to flag a pattern, not high enough to call it an exclusive trait.
- The peer comparison below shows only notes where this brewery's coverage differs from similar breweries by at least 20 percentage points. A higher bar — enough to call a real difference, not a nudge.
A note can appear on the signature list without appearing in the peer comparison: it recurs here, but similar breweries do the same thing.
