Brasserie de Cazeau: Innovation
The idea for a new beer recipe often occurs by chance. It starts by the discovery of a new variety of malt or hop which spurs the brewer’s imagination. Smell a hop flower, taste a new malt, and ideas abound… New beer projects are then created in the lab, in a little 20-litre installation. If ... Read More
Brasserie de Cazeau: Bottling
At this stage, we add the sugar which will be used by the yeast when it wakes up in the hot chamber. During refermentation in the bottle, the gas produced will stay trapped in the bottle, making the beer fizzy and contributing to the thickness of the head. & All we have to do now ... Read More
Brasserie de Cazeau: Malting

Convince it (with a little bit of persuasion) that it is ready to do its job, i.e. to germinate and give birth to a new generation of barley plantlets. At this stage it will need ... Read More

The crushing process opens the grain up to make the starch reserves ... Read More
Brasserie de Cazeau: Fermentation
At 23 °C, the hopped wort is the perfect food at the perfect temperature for the yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisae). But the several million cells per millilitre are still not enough to make our heavenly brew. The yeast breathes. It needs oxygen just as we do. The oxygenation of the wort allows the yeast to breathe ... Read More
Brasserie de Cazeau: Boiling
The aim of the boiling is to concentrate the wort and sterilise it. This is also the point when the brewer adds the hops that give the Tournay its distinctive delicious aroma. Four aromatic, embittering hops are used, in very precise proportions and at exactly the right moment. The embittering hop will be added at ... Read More
Brasserie de Cazeau: Tournay de Noël
Tournay Noël Roundness to be enjoyed by the side of an open fire! We wanted to create a more palateful, stronger beer, but without spices, unlike the majority of Christmas beers. The work therefore first of all focused on the selection of the barley malts. We needed a mixture of five different barley malts for ... Read More
