Who are we?

Two friends, a common passion!

At the origin of La Brasserie du Cantou, there are two friends, lovers of Aubrac, who decided to change their lives to devote themselves to their passion: craft beer. Inspired by American breweries, they wanted to create a range of aromatic, authentic and modern beers. In our project, we highlight strong values: sharing, conviviality and respect for the terroir.

Aubrac in

Heart !

A terroir that inspires and unites

Aubrac, for us, is much more than a place: it's a source of inspiration. With its preserved landscapes, its traditions and its authenticity, this plateau is at the heart of our approach. We chose to brew here to enhance this unique territory and create beers in its image: authentic, warm and close to people.

Aubrac Adventure

An adventure

Collective

A page that opened thanks to everyone's support.

At the beginning of our adventure we chose crowdfunding to launch our brewery. Thanks to community support, we were able to: • Acquire quality brewing equipment. • Launch our first batches. • Bring together a real family around our project. Even today, we thank all the people who believed in us and made this dream possible. A wall pays tribute to them at the shop.

Some collaborations

To go even further

Working hand in hand with enthusiasts.

La Brasserie du Cantou is also a collective adventure. We collaborate with local producers and artisans to:

  • Supply our raw materials, like the cocoa present in the "Belle Hélène" beer or the hops from "Pachamama"
  • Support local events and associations by offering them adapted offers
  • Promote the short circuit, by selling directly to grocery stores, restaurants and local shops.
  • Recycle efficiently by offering our draff to local farmers and breeders.

These collaborations strengthen our local roots and allow Aubrac to shine far beyond its borders.

Our story is just beginning! Every day, we work to innovate, create unique beers and strengthen our ties with the local community and our customers.

We are proud to contribute to discovering Aubrac and Aveyron through our craft beers
