One more of those miserable brewpubs which are brewing without any knowledge (an established trend in the west side of the country). A shame for craft brews.

The shame of the brewpubs is back with an additional plant in Neuchâtel (open since december 2007). Bad weeds grow tall. Poor world …
The same brewpub can be found in Lausanne, Nyon and Genève.

A microbrewery producing 3 beers (+ different specialities depending of the season) of belgian inspiration and the least I can say is that their beers are very good. A must try !
Stopped temporary in Spring 2009 as the brewers decided to quit but is running again now that they have found a successor.
Looks unfortunately to be definitely closed now (September 2009).

Brewer: Mirko Dardel
A very small microbrewery which desperately fails to bring some quality in its beers. Closed by the end of 2007.
