People often ask me the question: What is a Spring beer? Here is the shortest answer that I can give. I only talk about Rivière d’Ain beers but the idea is quite often the same at our brewers fellows and friends.

1. A beer which is distributed exclusively during spring

We brew this beer through winter, and we commercialise it only in Spring. So it is a foretaste of summer.

2. We adapt taste flavors to the Spring season

The gustatory characteristics match with the season. So it is very often full-bodied beers. However it is not light beers, neither sweet winter beers.

3.  A limited edition beer

For each year a new Rivière d’Ain Spring beer! Therefore we do not use two times the same recipe. For that, I sit at a table with a sheet of white paper, a beer, and I write a new recipe.

Spring is here, therefore Rivière d’Ain Spring beer as well!

The Brewery Rivière d’Ain introduce you its spring beer. So it’s a blond beer, with livelyness and florals notes, which brings you up to summer. That is the perfect opportunity for an aperitif with friends and family under spring sun.

Enjoy!!!

You will find Rivière d’Ain Spring beers at your favourite reseller.

The International Beer Challenge, held in London, has rewarded our 6 beers!

Today is the International Day of Beer!

This festival was created in 2007 and is now celebrated all around the world. Every year, the first Friday of August is the day when beer is celebrated.

The wheat fields of the brewery are ripe.

This harvest will allow us to produce the white beers: The Thou and the Rivière d’Ain Blanche.

Follow the signs !

If you are planning to come in France for holidays, and that you want to come to say hello, you just have to follow the new traffic signs.

We wish you a good trip and welcome at Rivière d’Ain.

In your opinion, why are there beers darker than the blonde?

The color of the beer depends on the presence or absence of roasted malt.
If the beer contains a bit of roasted malt it will give an amber or red beer, while if there are many or if the malt is very roasted it will be a brown beer.

The entire team of Rivière d’Ain is pleased to announce you that the national and international competitions have again rewarded our beers. Since the beginning of the year 2017, our beers have won 8 more medals, including 3 in gold !
