The north of France, and in particular Pas-de-Calais, is home to some rich, individual and superbly refreshing craft micro-breweries. It is also where you'll find one of the largest breweries in France, producing an astonishing 400 million pints of ale a year.
With a culture and cuisine that sets it apart from the rest of France, Pas-de-Calais has a reputation for warmth and hospitality and for creating very fine beers indeed. And because this is France, the love of beer obviously isn't just about drinking it: some delicious and hearty local dishes use the beverage as an essential ingredient. Carbonnade flamande features slow-cooked beef and amber or dark beer and Le Welsh is like a boozy Welsh rarebit drenched in a cheese and, usually blond, beer sauce. There's even beer tart! What's not to love?
