BRASSERIE LA 3 TERTRES, ORGANIC CRAFT BEERS IN FRONSAC, BELGIAN ABBEY METHOD

Just 10 minutes from Libourne, in the heart of Fronsac wine country, Brasserie La 3 Tertres has been cultivating a delightfully unconventional approach since 2017. Nathalie and Alain, the latter originally from northern France and trained in Belgian brewing traditions, craft a range of organic, unpasteurized, aged beers using the purest abbey method. This establishment appeals to craft beer enthusiasts, wine tourists seeking a unique break between visiting châteaux, and groups of friends or colleagues looking for a gourmet and original outing in the Libournais region. It boasts a 4.8/5 rating on Google and a warm welcome that is universally praised.

An organic, aged beer matured on its lees using the Abbey method.

At La 3 Tertres, beer takes its time. Alain works according to the Belgian Abbey method, a lager aged on its lees for several weeks to develop the natural aromas of the hop flowers. The secondary fermentation in the bottle naturally generates the fine bubbles characteristic of the style, while refining the taste and reducing haze. The barley is organic and 100% French, sourced from Malterie de l'Ouest south of Saintes—a deliberate choice that guarantees traceability and supports the local brewing industry. The range includes blonde, white, amber, and seasonal beers, all unpasteurized, available to enjoy at the brewery or to order directly from the brewers.

Brewery tours and special after-work opening on Friday evenings

Brasserie La 3 Tertres is open for tours year-round by appointment, for small groups or larger groups of up to 20 people. Enjoy an hour of engaging conversation with Alain and Nathalie about the brewing process, raw materials, and the brewery's philosophy, with a tasting available at the end of the tour depending on your reservation. Every Friday evening, the brewery opens its doors for after-work drinks from 5 pm to 10 pm —the perfect opportunity to discover the brewery's beers, try signature cocktails made with Alain's creations, and spend a pleasant evening with friends or colleagues in a welcoming atmosphere. Reservations are recommended: +33 6 64 45 13 99. Address: 4 Route de Libourne, 33126 Fronsac, France.
