For those really homesick for 'home', William King of Eymet has started producing his first lot of English beer for his brasserie, Bastide Brewery. The beer is called La bière de la Sainte-Catherine.
Like hundreds of other Brits who look for a different way of life, William King came to the Dordogne in 2002 and settled in Eymet. And like for hundreds of other Brits, apart from the family he had to leave behind, it is English beer which he misses the most. So -- not someone to sit and feel sorry for himself, he transformed the old village abattoir into a brasserie and started brewing beer -- a la anglaise! Still at the beginning stages, he is not quite ready to compete with the brewery giants, but -- he has been here long enough to know how to shrug his shoulders and adopt the philosophy of "À mon âge, je suis en France plus pour profiter de la qualité de vie que pour gagner beaucoup d'argent"!
Je vous souhaite de la Bonne Chance, Guilleaume -- et Catherine!
