A committed craft brewery

The EPIC Artisanal Brewery is located in Boulazac-Isle-Manoire, just a few minutes from Périgueux, in the heart of the Dordogne. Created by Alexandre Tardieux, a beer enthusiast with a background in events and catering, this microbrewery showcases authentic expertise and craft beers with a variety of flavors.

Beers in various styles

Ephemeral creations regularly complement the range, allowing enthusiasts to discover new flavors.

A brewing workshop to learn and share

One of the highlights of the EPIC Craft Brewery is its brewing workshop. Open to both individuals and businesses, it offers the opportunity to learn about the different stages of beer production. Weighing, crushing, mashing, hopping, and bottling are guided by the brewer's advice. After a few weeks of fermentation, participants leave with their own production, which they will have brewed and labeled.

Formulas adapted to your desires

Several formulas are offered to adapt to expectations:

• The “Épis Houblonneurs” formula allows you to brew 6 liters of beer in two and a half hours, with a choice of recipes such as blonde, amber or IPA.
• The more comprehensive “Épis Malteurs” package offers a four-hour workshop and the opportunity to make 12 liters of “all-grain” beer. It is aimed at those who wish to discover a more in-depth and diversified method.

These workshops can also be transformed into real team building activities for companies, promoting cohesion around a friendly and original activity.

A responsible and local commitment

Brasserie EPIC is committed to an eco-responsible approach. The raw materials come largely from regional producers, particularly in Charente-Maritime and Lot-et-Garonne. The water used during cooling is recovered to limit waste, and particular attention is paid to reducing CO2 emissions. This desire to produce local beers is accompanied by a sustainable approach, in line with changing consumer expectations.
