In special honour of the Tour de France kicking off its 2020 edition in the beautiful city of Nice, la Brasserie Bleue collaborated with their friendly neighbourhood bicycle repair shop, Bicicletta Shop, on a very special, limited-edition beer.

Daniel and Arthur (Brasserie Bleue) and Jerome (Bicicletta Shop) brewing the Beercicletta
Beercicletta is the brewery's first - but certainly not its last - lager. Brewed with pilsner and a sprinkle of oats, the beer was then dry-hopped with 10 g/l of fragrant Mosaic hops.
Prepared in the brewery's smaller kettle, this special edition beer is exclusively available in 33cl bottles at the Cave à Bière Allez Hops until the stock runs dry !
