Armelle and Dominique's plan to start a brewery was not met with much enthusiasm. Why brew beer when France is so richly blessed with excellent wines that even the greatest wine lover would never be able to try them all in a lifetime? Why? And rightly so! Because Pietra beer is so good that it doesn't have to hide behind any wine in the world, even if it is French!
Success story
The idea for Pietra Beer was born on a warm summer evening in 1992 when Armelle and Dominique were sitting together. On the terrace of a bar in Corsica, they were horrified to discover that there was no Corsican beer at all. No local beer with which to toast the beauty of the sea and land, summer and friendship. No wonder, as people all over the country preferred to toast with a glass of wine. Armelle and Dominique decided to remedy this situation and quickly founded their own brewery in Corsica: Pietra Beer was born! Since the beer scene at that time was not yet geared towards microbreweries, they had to painstakingly cobble together their equipment. No problem, however, for the two of them, who defied all adversities with a lot of humor and passion and are now the owners of a successful brewery that enjoys great popularity both in France and internationally.
Corsica in a glass
A genuine Corsican beer must of course adequately represent its special origins. With the Biera Corsa Pietra, Pietra Bier has succeeded wonderfully in capturing the character of Corsica. The lovingly hand-brewed lager with its unmistakable amber color contains a true Corsican specialty: chestnuts. The chestnuts typical of the island are ground into a fine flour, which is then added to the kettle together with hops and malt. The beer impresses with its unique aroma, which conjures up the Corsican sun in your glass.
