A mid-Friday afternoon visit. The pub is not busy and only the front seating area is open. Each time we need service, we have to fetch the chain-smoking barman in from outside. Nice pub – I list just the beers we tried.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Brootcorens - Angelus Blonde7.00ExcellentAn amber coloured beer, served by keg dispense. Full-on and nicely balanced. More in the Triple style than a straightforward blonde we thought.
Brasserie Artisanale la Choulette - La Tour d’Ostrevant8.50GoodA proper Bière de Garde, served from a 75cl bottle. Golden in colour, full-bodied and strong. Both Robert and I found it a little too heavy and grainy.
Brasserie du Pays Flamand - La Bracine Ambrée7.00AcceptableOn keg dispense. A golden-coloured beer with a nice hoppy aroma. Taste is mostly sweetish and caramel with the hops very much in the background.

The pub is found in Lille, France, 59000.

Beer-specialist pub on Place Sébastopol in the city centre. Quite a small frontage, with a few pavement tables, the pub is quite a bit bigger than it first appears. There is a cosy front room by the bar and another seating area to the rear, plus a basement seating area brought in to use at busy times. Around 15 beers available on tap, plus a good bottle list.

We have visited this pub once, seen 3 different beers and tried them all.
