Brasserie Licorne: 180 years of history
Founded in 1845 in Saverne, Brasserie Licorne is one of the last major independent breweries in Alsace. It perpetuates centuries-old artisanal know-how, producing quality beers that reflect the Alsatian terroir and brewing traditions. The Fête de la Bière is an opportunity to discover the entire range, including special editions and creations from the Slash craft brand.
An exceptional setting
The Château des Rohan, an imposing 18th-century neoclassical building, and its tree-lined park offer a majestic setting for this popular festival. Saverne, nicknamed the "City of Roses," also charms with its Marne-Rhine canal, its half-timbered houses, and its prime location at the foot of the Col de Saverne, the gateway to Alsace.
