Mayenn'Bière Festival: Showcase of Mayenne Brewers

Created in 2021, the Mayenn'Bière Festival has quickly become the annual meeting place for craft beer enthusiasts in Mayenne. Organized by the Saint-Jean-sur-Mayenne Animation Committee, the event takes place every spring on the banks of the Ernée, offering a bucolic setting to discover the brewing richness of the department.

A Showcase for Local Brewers

Each year, the festival brings together about a dozen Mayenne craft breweries in one place. Among the regularly present brewers:

  • Brasserie de L'Oudon
  • Guibs Beer
  • Mont Hardi
  • NB Brewing
  • BAM
  • Osmie
  • L'Arborescence
  • Brasserie Cousin
  • Brasserie des Nico
  • Bertus
  • Back Home

The 2025 edition also invited a brewer from Orne for the first time, Brasserie des Forges, demonstrating the festival's gradual opening to neighboring territories.

Concerts, Shows, and Entertainment

Beyond tasting, the Mayenn'Bière Festival offers a varied musical program with four bands performing throughout the day: brass band, groove, folk, and rock. A show for young audiences featuring a clown-magician opens the festivities at 11:30 AM, making the event accessible to families.

Original Entertainment

The festival enriches its program with diverse entertainment: vinyl record exhibition, scientific demonstrations on climate, and brewing discovery workshops. Addiction prevention stands are also present, reflecting a responsible approach.

Local Products and Short Supply Chains

True to its commitment to local products, the festival offers catering exclusively made from products from Mayenne producers. This approach to valuing short supply chains extends to the entire organization, with an eco-responsible policy including the loan of eco-cups to limit waste production.

The 6th edition of the Mayenn'Bière Festival is scheduled for spring 2026 in Saint-Jean-sur-Mayenne. Details of the program and participating brewers will be announced on the Animation Committee's social media.
