Week's Program

TTO with Espiga brewery (Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain), with the brewers in attendance.

Around ten beers on tap plus a selection of cans from this fine Barcelona brewery, specialised in big hoppy beers throughout its 12 years of existence.

Fifth edition of our now-classic Panam All Starz!!

18 taps for an evening dedicated to the cream of the Île-de-France craft scene, from old hands to young upstarts.

For the occasion, we’ll be pouring three collabs we brewed this year with Brasserie de la Goutte d’Or, Orville and Soquee.

This is Paris!!

Closed at the end of the 20th century, the former Dumesnil brewery is the heir to the Marché aux Chevaux brewery, bought by Georges Dumesnil in 1840. Its innovative brewing processes (temperature control using the thermal stability of the underground, yeast strain selection with Louis Pasteur…) led it to expand and relocate several times, from the 13th arrondissement of Paris to Ivry-sur-Seine via the 14th.

Today only the underground part of the facilities remains (bought by the Richard brewery, and the focus of the guided tour) in Ivry — still one of the last examples of integrated production, with an output (bottom-fermentation) exceeding one million hectolitres in 1959.

Duration: about 2 hours, including a tasting of 5 beers of different styles related to the tour theme.

Chubby Brewing will present 3 variations of its most monstrous beer to date:

A blend of imperial stout and barley wine clocking in at 17%, aged 9 months in JM rum barrels.

1st version: plain. 2nd version: with cacao nibs and habanero pepper. 3rd version: with a split vanilla pod per bottle.

Bonus: the launch of their barrel-aged beer eau-de-vie and 2 thirst-quenching beers on tap!

After months of work, it was time to show you our (almost) finished space for the Paris Beer Festival!

On the menu: 10 draft beers including 4 collabs with L’Apaisée, Popihn, Fauve and La Mule. Plus great food, house cocktails and softs, natural wine, and more.

Calling all fans of big hops and pop culture: Brasserie 1989 is leaving Normandy to shake up the BaB’s taps!

Founded by three enthusiasts born in… 1989 (of course), the brewery’s mission is to “lift” the codes of craft beer with an electric identity and ultra-stylish recipes. Expect a full immersion blending ’90s nostalgia and modern brewing.

On the bill:

• Explosive NEIPAs: their specialty, with tropical fruit aromatics and that signature hazy look.
• Funky sours: for those who like acidity crafted with audacity.
• Ephemeral gems: exclusive batches that never stay on the keg for long.

Whether you’re a beer “geek” or simply curious to try original flavours, come taste the work of one of the most creative breweries around.

📅 See you at the bar for kick-off!

Wednesday May 27, join us at Les Cuves de Fauve during Paris Beer Festival week! You loved the 2025 Hand-Selected series — we’re back with the 2026 harvest.

A BLIND SELECTION Cyprien, co-founder of Fauve Craft Bière, travelled to the US, deep into Yakima Valley, to taste and smell A LOT of hop lots. The principle? A blind selection. We don’t pick a brand, we pick an intensity, an aromatic profile, an emotion. The result is an incredible privilege for us (and for you!): year-round, we know the exact origin of our three flagship hops. We know the farm, and even the specific plot where they grew!

THE WEDNESDAY 27 LINE-UP: Come discover the 4 gems from this selection on draft (and in cans):

• WEST COAST IPA DDH - Simcoe: the resinous, sharp profile we love.
• NEIPA DDH - Mosaic: tropical fruit in its purest form.
• DOUBLE NEIPA DDH - Citra: silky aromatic intensity.
• TRIPLE NEIPA DDH - Mega Blend: a grand finale bringing together every farm in the series.

AN IMMERSIVE JOURNEY Which farms are behind these beers? We’re keeping you in suspense a little longer… Names will be revealed on the cans, and each day of the week we’ll share the story of one of these growers on our socials.

Where? Les Cuves de Fauve, Paris When? Wednesday May 27, from 6pm

Come taste Cyprien’s selection work and the Yakima terroir!

When craft beer meets aged cheese. 4 in-house beers, 4 exceptional cheeses, pairings designed to surprise. A brewer and a cheesemonger on the mic to walk you through it all.

Limited seats — registration required.

Paris meets Montpellier. We brewed something with our friends from Sacrilège, and tonight we’re tapping the first keg.

Come taste the beer before everyone else, with the ones who made it.

A message from the 3 breweries of the collective: La Petite Huguette, La Varette, GMTX.

Wild beers can’t be tamed. They search, they wander, they transform. They live at the pace of wood, of air, of the long haul. Spontaneous fermentations, indigenous yeasts, patient ageing, living blends.

This year, we take one more step: the official birth of our collective of wild beer brewers.

To celebrate it properly, join us for a manifesto evening to discover around fifteen brews from the collective’s breweries.

🍺 A selection of wild and barrel-aged beers 🪵 Rare blends 🔬 Hybrid experiments 🤝 Encounters, exchanges, sharing of living cultures

An evening to taste what time creates. An evening to talk yeasts, wood, patience — and possible futures.

With Hugues from La Petite Huguette and Benjamin from La Varette.

A team olympiad with 5 events, in teams of 4 (2 men, 2 women):

• waiters’ relay race
• safety boot throwing
• malt-sack race
• lighter bottle-opening
• beer mat flipping

TTO with Brasserie de La Ville Porte Amour (Plouvara, Brittany), with the brewer in attendance.

Tom walks us through his work: forgotten historical recipes, sharp ingredient sourcing, original brewing techniques and blends — a Côtes-d’Armor breeze is about to blow through Paris!

During Paris Beer Festival week, we keep a well-rooted tradition alive: the 7th edition of our legendary SpontaMixte night! Because Paris Beer Festival means SpontaMixte at Les Cuves de Fauve. And this year again, we’re cooking up an unforgettable night!

SpontaMixte is baaaaack!

For 7 years, our 16 taps have showcased the best spontaneous and mixed-fermentation beers with an international taplist. On the menu: 16 breweries, funk, brett and barrel-ageing aplenty! Expect, unsurprisingly, Gueuze, Farmhouse, Lambic and other wild gems to celebrate this 7th edition in style.

We’re promising the heavy stuff, and we’ll be revealing the breweries throughout the week…

So, who do you want to see on the lineup this year? Place your bets!

• 16 breweries from around the world
• 4 more “classic” beers on draft to rinse your palate between two wild ones!
