Immersion à la brasserie Poèm presents beer-making beside Brest’s Moulin Blanc marina, in a former workshop linked to composite racing boats. Gérald’s organic brewery works with Breton malt, hoppy recipes and short supply chains, treating the tank room as both craft space and maritime echo. The visit ends around on-site beers whose names and flavors nod to sea wind, local grain and the rugged western coast.

Esprit bord de mer Breton Cooking Workshop
Retour de Pêche shapes this Saint-Suliac workshop around a Breton lunch with a coastal character.

A direct visit connects the finished jars and preparations with the bees, craft and green farm setting behind them.
