Antoine Mallemouche, beer brewer

“My father was the village glass-blower until 2009,so I’ve walked this these streets up and down,ever since I was a child. In summer,the port is like a seaside resort so I used to go to the beach every afternoon.You can imagine the number of times I’ve climbed and ambled through the narrow streets around the old town walls! Even though I’ve always lived here,each time I wander around,I discover something new:a wall carving, something engraved above a doorway…The brewery,started in 2001,has become a part of this beautiful setting E .Our organic ‘Lutine’beer has really taken on and is nowadays synonymous with Limeuil.” “Something different every time”
