The 9 Best Craft Breweries in Paris
Paris is no longer a wine-only city. Over the last decade the capital has built a serious craft scene — Paname Brewing Company on the Villette canal, Les Cuves de Fauve bringing the Fauve brewery to Charonne, La Robe & La Mousse setting the standard for Left Bank craft bars, BBP Canal bringing Brussels Beer Project to the Canal Saint-Martin, and Mez Beer anchoring the Left Bank in the 14th. We've mapped the 9 stops we'd take a beer-loving friend to on a long weekend, with métro directions, hours and what to drink at each.

Paris craft beer — Frequently asked questions
Is Paris a good city for craft beer?
More than people expect. Since 2012 Paris has built a real craft scene — 15+ breweries inside the city limits and Greater Paris (Paname, Fauve), plus reference craft bars like La Robe & La Mousse, Hoppy Corner, Plan B and BBP Canal. It's not Brussels or Portland, but you can easily fill a weekend with great independent beer.
What is the best craft beer neighborhood in Paris?
Three answers depending on your style. The 11th (Oberkampf / Charonne) is the densest — Les Cuves de Fauve, Galopins par Patoche, and a dozen craft-friendly bars in walking distance. The 10th / Canal Saint-Martin (BBP Canal, Galopins par Patoche) is the late-night scene. The 19th around Bassin de la Villette (Paname Brewing) is the summer-terrace destination.
Can you do a one-day Paris craft beer tour?
Yes, and you don't need a car — the métro covers everything. A solid one-day route: lunch at Paname Brewing (canal terrace), walk along the canal to BBP Canal on Rue Bichat, métro to Les Cuves de Fauve for the Charonne taproom, dinner at La Robe & La Mousse, nightcap at Hoppy Corner. Five spots, all on the métro, very different styles.
Where to find French craft beer in Paris?
Hoppy Corner (2nd), Galopins par Patoche (10th) and La Robe & La Mousse (6th) carry the deepest selection of French micros — Sainte Cru, La Débauche, Effet Papillon, Page 24, Fauve, Paname, all on tap or in bottle. For takeaway, the brewery shops at Paname and Fauve sell their own range.
Are there craft beer bars open late in Paris?
Yes. Galopins par Patoche (10th) and BBP Canal stay open until 2am on weekends. Hoppy Corner (2nd) runs to 2am Friday and Saturday. La Robe & La Mousse closes around midnight on weekdays, 2am on weekends. Most brewery taprooms (Paname, Fauve) close earlier — by midnight or 1am.
