La route de la Bière des Alpes - The Road of Beer in the Alps Mbc_001

We invite you to take part in the project of book “La Route de la Bière des Alpes”. It is the association of a journalist, a photographer and a “bierologist” which gave rise to the idea of this “Beau Livre”.

It will be one picture book, backed up with a guide to follow and a technical handbook on beers of the French Alps.

Detailed presentation of the project
