Bière de l’Union

Beer Description

Likely house/flagship beer of the Brasserie de l'Union, Metz-Sablon, founded 1905 by the Schriber brothers. Naming inferred from standard brewery convention (cf. Grütli beer named after S.A. Bières Grütli) — not confirmed via a direct primary source. The brewery merged into Union des Brasseries Messines in 1936. No style, ABV, or flavor data available.
