On a narrow street surrounded by other restaurants. Small place with nowhere near the selection of Le Bulles, and far more Belgian than French beers. Light snacks only for food. The young girl working was very busy, and I had the impression she might be the owner, but she was very friendly. It is kind of a weird place in that it is a bottle shop, and you can drink beer there, and you can also have light snacks. I have never seen anything quite like it, but worth a look if you want to eat. I had a ham and cheese sandwich, as well as a bowl of salami with mustard and cheese cubes.

In realtà si tratta di un beershop adattato a stuzzicheria (piattini microscopici a 5/6€, taglieri non certo enormi a 12€), ma la selezione, specialmente confrontata con il resto dei locali, è impressionante: un sacco di Belgio (anche lambic), UK, USA (Rogue, Flying Dog, Great Divide), modernisti nordici (Nøgne Ø, Mikkeller, De Molen) e qualcosina di francese (uno scaffalino solo). Purtroppo la prassi è la seguente: ci sono una serie (minuta) di birre già in fresco, e se si vuole consumare qualcos’altro bisogna darlo al bancone da mettere in frigo per dopo. il locale chiude alle 21, la proprietaria poco prima ha già smesso di servire. Tempo di andare in bagno e tornare e già c’è l’addition sul tavolo; pago ed esco un po’ rassegnato, ma almeno i prezzi della birra non sono stati vertiginosi: come beershop è caro, ma ad un locale 3.90€/4.50€ per 33cl (la Rogue 10€) è decisamente sotto la media parigina.

Re-rate August 2012 - Cecile has updated her beer selection with a variety of difficult to find craft beers from the likes of Mikkeller, Dogfish Head.. Cosy place and great on the terrace in the summer.

Great beer shop/cafe/bar/restaurant although technically not a bar, as the license covers serving beer with food. The food however is excellent, just some basic plates with a very fine charcuiterie and fromage selection. Good idea to book though if you are going there in the evening. The petite restaurant seats about 20-30 with some seating outside. All tables were reserved when we arrived, but Cecile offered us a seat at the bar which was perfect. Excellent selection of French and Belgian beers extending to Danish, Norweigan, American and British ... Stuck to the French and Belgian selection from the chilled board. There are stacks more that are not chilled, but I’m sure if you buy/wait for a bit you could have just about anything. Will be back here for sure and recommend to friends.

While you can’t get food at La Cave a Bulles, Cecile at Brewberry makes up for it with a nice relaxed atmosphere and a huge selection. She knows her beer and is happy to make recommendations and suggest flights for tastings. It is in a great neighborhood, around the corner from my favorite crepe place on R. Moufftard.

This a wonderful shop/bar on a backstreet in the St. Germaine neighborhood. The owner, Cecile, can’t be out of her mid-twenties, but she was extremely knowledgable, not only about French beers, but also about her Belgian selections. To get around the local laws, she can sell you a snack, so you can enjoy your selection at the tables inside or out on the sidewalk. She also has proper glassware for sale. This a must visit for all beer loving visitors to Paris.
