I don't often get the chance to write reviews for breweries outside of the United States but on the rare occasion that I do I am almost always highly impressed. Brasserie Meteor or Meteor Brewing beers can be found all over France but in the U.S. it's fairly rare to find. It's a brand that has been around a very long time and when I mean a long time it's the 1600's we are talking about and 8 generations making this beer.
Steve and I had two different beers from this brewery and we loved them both! We had the Blanche which is a Belgian style wheat beer, a kind you don't see in the U.S. much at all but super good with it's smoked, grainy flavors along with a subtle touch of banana which isn't dominating at all but very well balanced which adds a nice sweetness to the rest of the flavor profile. I believe we liked this beer the best out of the two simply because it's a beer style we don't normally get to try.
The other beer Meteor's Pilsner wasn't disappointing in the slightest at all though and when I checked both beers on Untappd I gave them both the same and a very high score. This pilsner was light, hoppy, smooth and dry. Another splendid beer that we enjoyed from Meteor.
As I mentioned before finding Meteor takes some work if not going France and you are in the U.S. Beer in the mail services is an option as long as you live in a state where this kind of shipping is allowed so if that isn't a hurdle I suggest checking out the website Half Time Beverage and you can order the Blanche and the Pilsner there for sure. I imagine with enough probing you might find it at bottle shops or liquor stores with a vast imported beer selection but those kind of stores aren't always easy to find without some trial and error. With that said with all the craft beer exploring I do at these kind of stores I've never seen Meteor physically on the shelf. read more
