A beer brewed in the Principality of Monaco with flavors of yesteryear, this is the successful bet of Gildo Pallanca-Pastor, manager (owner and creator) of La Brasserie de Monaco who revives a lost tradition by brewing during the first Blonde on August 1, 2008 on Hercule harbor. Number of the transmission of the secrets of the former Monegasque brewery, established in the Fontvieille district between 1905 and 1972, the Pils (low fermentation blonde) is one of the four beers brewed in Monaco by Valentin KUHN, master brewer. The Master Brewer selects organic malts to produce beers with authentic tastes: blonde, amber, white and seasonal. After 4 weeks of preparation, they reach the ideal maturation when tasted. Unfiltered, unpasteurized, they retain all the benefits of a craft beer.

Blonde de Monaco
Draft | 5.2 °
The Blonde de Monaco is a high fermentation Pils respecting the law of beer mashing (Reinheitsgebot): only organic malts, hops and yeasts are combined thanks to the know-how of our Master Brewer. This traditional beer reveals the fine and peppery bitterness of German and Alsatian hops thanks to a slow fermentation process and maturation in vats for more than 3 weeks.
It took four months of work to install on the port, the brewing equipment weighing several tonnes. The German company Kaspar Schulz, the oldest brewery factory in the world (1677), ensured the tailor-made realization of this installation, combining tradition and innovation: a brewing room of 1,000 liters in mirror-polished stainless steel, 5 tanks fermentation, 4 service tanks and an innovative fully automated brewing system. Temperature, dosage, fermentation time, hygiene, the master brewer always has his eye on the sensors and computer screens that continuously measure and control the manufacturing process.
