    Brewery "le mazot"

    3 ROUTE D’ARMOY - THONON-LES-BAINS

    Brewers coddle and protect their beers, whether mild or fullbodied, just as farmers did for the grains in Savoy mazots. Our favourite is the Bière Noire: with notes of coffee and chocolate, a real body and good head!

  • A story about taxation! At the time of tax controls, the farmers only partially milked their animals. Once the inspector left, they milked their animals again and made the famous Reblochon cheese which was, as a direct result, very rich in cream.
