This microbrasserie, 3km southeast of Vézelay near the River Cure, brews fine beers, all made according to Germany's strict purity law, using organic malt, hops, yeast and water from the adjoining Morvan park. Children can frolic on the grassy lawn while their parents sample the award-winning stout, hefeweizen and rauchbier. There's live music on the outdoor terrace in summer.
