À propos de Colonel Beer
Colonel Beer is a craft brewery based in the coastal town of Batroun in northern Lebanon, founded by Jamil Haddad. Often described as one of the country’s earliest independent breweries after 961, Colonel built its reputation on a seaside brewpub where visitors can drink freshly made beer just steps from the Mediterranean.
Au-delà de la bière elle-même, Colonel s’est fait connaître pour son fort engagement environnemental, avec un bâtiment et un fonctionnement pensés autour de la réutilisation, du recyclage et de la réduction des déchets. L’entreprise s’est ensuite lancée dans la distillation, donnant naissance à Colonel Brewery and Distillery, qui produit aujourd’hui des spiritueux en plus de sa gamme principale de bières artisanales.
Pourquoi Colonel Beer compte
Colonel helped turn Batroun into a destination for craft beer lovers and showed that a Lebanese brewery could be built around sustainability as well as flavour. Its brewpub model, mixing production, hospitality and a sense of place, has become a template for the country’s growing artisanal drinks scene.
