French beer

French beer, or "bière," is an integral part of the country's culinary culture, often overshadowed by wine. France features a diverse brewing tradition with regional variations, such as the hoppy ales of northern France, wheat beers from the Alsace region, and unique farmhouse ales like Bière de Garde. Many craft breweries have emerged, focusing on quality and innovative flavors. The country also cherishes artisanal brewing techniques and local ingredients. Although traditionally less prominent than wine, French beer is gaining recognition for its craftsmanship and richness, appealing to both locals and international beer enthusiasts.
