BRASSERIE DU COMTE

What BRASSERIE DU COMTE does

Brasserie du Comté is a French craft brewery founded in 2012 and headquartered in Saint-Martin-Vésubie, in the Mercantour mountains of Alpes-Maritimes (Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur). It produces an organic, non-filtered, and non-pasteurized range of artisanal beers and soft drinks using spring water sourced from the Mercantour range, an own hop field, and local ingredients such as Tanneron honey and Bellet cédrat. The portfolio spans eight core classics (La Blonde through La Triple plus Mounta Cala), four seasonal beers, the participatory #ALOURA? line, cross-regional collaborations, and a soft-drink range (Limonade Citron, Citron-Gingembre, Fraise, Cola).

The company operates a hybrid distribution model: direct-to-consumer through an on-site boutique and the boutique.brasserieducomte.fr e-commerce site, regional resellers across the PACA region, and a B2B custom-can program (X Collab'®) serving sports clubs, cultural venues, and tourism operators. Additional revenue streams include brewery tours with tastings, brewing workshops and corporate seminars (Ateliers de brassage), draft-tap rentals (Location de tireuses), and themed merchandise. GTM is product-led with strong event-driven activation (Vendredis du Comté summer Fridays, après-ski evenings, brewery visits) and content marketing through a long-running recipe collaboration with food blogger La Cuisine de Ginuccia.

In April 2026 the company adopted Société à Mission status, becoming the first craft brewery in the Azuréenne/Provence region to formalize environmental and societal objectives in its statutes. The company is independently owned by four co-founding associates (Edwards Dilly, Frédéric Beauvisage, Quentin Lormeteau, Nicolas Billy) plus administrative lead Nathalie Rollet, with a headcount of 7 and no external funding rounds disclosed.
