- The brewery
Craft brewery in Montmartre, Paris 18th
Brewed here since 2022
The brewhouse behind the bar, eight fermenters in the basement, and a story that started in a kitchen.
How we brew
We brew behind the bar, the beer ferments in the basement, then comes back up to the taps.
Mashing
Crushed malt steeps in hot water. It makes up most of the recipe: nearly 90% of the raw materials.
Hops
The wort boils and in go the hops: bitterness and fruity aromas.
Fermentation
Yeast turns sugar into alcohol, in our eight 500-litre fermenters in the basement.
At the bar
The beer goes from the tanks to our 12 taps. You drink it a few metres from where it was made.
Eight fermenters, one floor down
Under the bar sit our eight 500-litre fermenters. This is where every batch becomes beer, before it heads back up to the taps.
From a kitchen to the Butte
2017The first brew, in a kitchen
Alex and Hugo have known each other since primary school. One day they start brewing, learning almost everything online, from other brewers and a few courses.
ThenThe Sartrouville garage
The kitchen gets too small. They move to a garage in Sartrouville and the crates of bottles pile up.
2019Heading for Paris
In late 2019 the crew moves to Paris. The plan: brew and pour under one roof.
June 2022Patoche opens in Montmartre
At 32 rue des Trois Frères: tanks at the back, bar in front, 12 taps. The team has kept growing since.
We brew with friends too
Brewer friends, from Rennes to Québec, drop by to brew a recipe with us. Our next collab brew is with Fusion.
