Brasserie Rivière d'Ain - Rivière d'Ain Rousse

Guide Hachette des Bières

About the wine:

The opaque, golden-orange color of this rousse is topped by a thick, creamy, compact mousse. The nose reveals hints of roasted cereals and fruit. On the palate, the fizz is subtle, followed by the voluptuous texture hoped for from the foam. The taste of roasted cereals gives a slightly sweet tone, with a roundness reinforced by notes of chestnut and apricot. The finish is well-balanced, with hops and malts harmonizing smoothly.

About the domain :

Situated between the Bugey mountains, the Dombes ponds and Bresse, home of the blue-footed chicken, this brewery, formerly Maison de brasseur, changed its name in summer 2015. Its new name is inspired by the river that gave birth to it. It is now located at the heart of Patrice Pobel's farm, where he diversifies the cultivation of his barley to produce his beers. He gives each of his creations a name representative of the Ain region: cultivating the heritage of the place where you live is, in his view, essential. Winner of several medals, his beers are well-known and well-established in the département. In Vonnas, restaurateur Georges Blanc has been recommending Rivière d'Ain with roast Bresse chicken since 2012.
