Whether to warm up or cool down, beer is the Ardennes drink par excellence. Brewed for centuries by monks (the first written record dates from the 12th century at the abbey of Laval-Dieu de Monthermé), the production of this local beverage is now ensured by a dozen craft breweries and micro-breweries.

Some cuvées are to be discovered on all the terraces of cafés and restaurants (L'Oubliette, la Cuvée d'Arthur, l'Ardwen); others more confidential are distributed in short circuit to discover at the bend of a grocery store or an establishment which will have its own beer or even during festive events (brotherhood festival ou the Cabaret Vert festival particular).

To drink all the colors of the French and Belgian Ardennes (but always in moderation of course), the beer festivals are essential moments: meet every year in Charleville-Mézières place Ducale (1st weekend in June) or in Sedan.
