This post is also available in:

Discover La bière à Metz et en Moselle, Saint Arnoul patron des brasseurs (Beer in Metz and the Moselle Region, Saint Arnoul, Patron Saint of Brewers) the definitive book by Christian Jouffroy (Éditions Gérard Klopp, 1998, 161 pages in French, hardcover 13.81 x 10.03″ / 25.5 × 35.1 cm, ISBN 9782911992346), in very good condition. This well-researched work traces over 2,000 years of brewing history in Metz and the Moselle region, from Gallo-Roman brewers and the god Sucellus to large industrial breweries, including taverns, the German annexation, and the two World Wars.

Delve into the detailed history of Metz’s four iconic breweries (Amos 1868-1993, Lorraine, Messine, and Union) and the original study of Saint Arnoul, Bishop of Metz and patron saint of brewers, whose miracle of July 18, 641, still nourishes Lorraine tradition. The author, a historian and physician, draws on often unpublished archives to explore his veneration in France, Belgium, Luxembourg, and Germany.

Perfect for enthusiasts of craft beer, Lorraine heritage, local history of Metz and popular traditions, this cult book, now out of print, brings back to life the mythical beers of Metz (Amos, Lorraine, Gladiator, Pantherpils, Reine Pils…) and will appeal to collectors as well as lovers of regional history.
