Grenette

The portrait

La Grenette? It's the perfect equation for Lausanne's terrace beer, brewed specially and exclusively for the summer bar La Grenette. Born from a collaboration between us and Soulberry, it embodies the spirit of the legendary place whose name it bears: fresh and funky, as they say there.

With its mellow 16 IBUs and 4.7% alcohol that won't go to your head, it's accessible without being too easy. It's our answer to those looking for a "basic" lager—except here, basic rhymes with magical. A beer that proves you can be simple without being simplistic.

Balance is its superpower. Not too bitter, not too sweet. Just the right amount of character to awaken the taste buds without overwhelming them. The perfect beer for those long summer evenings where glasses flow and conversations liven up. A liquid refresher that gets the job done without making waves.

The story

This Pale Ale is the result of a wonderful local collaboration. When La Grenette and Soulberry approached us to create THE beer of the place, we knew we had to capture the very essence of this iconic terrace.

The challenge? Create a beer that appeals to everyone, from regulars to passing tourists. A beer that can be drunk without thinking, but that leaves a lasting impression. Mission accomplished with this lager that flowed into Lausanne glasses for several years, quickly becoming a classic of the spot.

The final word

La Grenette marked its era as THE ultimate terrace beer. Simple in appearance but complex in its balance, it perfectly embodied the spirit of the place: accessible, friendly, with just the right amount of Romand character.

For those who have sipped it on the legendary terrace, it remains the liquid memory of those evenings where Lausanne vibrates to the rhythm of clinking glasses. A collaboration that proves that together, we go further – even if it's just to the bar for another round.

Cheers! 🍻
