| Introduction |
| Lille, known as Rijsel in Dutch, is in the heart of French beer country.
Tucked just under Belgium, the area is known as French Flanders and shares many
traditions with its northern neighbour. The most important of these (for us at least)
is small-scale brewing. Before WW I there were literally thousands of breweries, though wartime destruction and postwar rationalisation have drastically reduced that number. Still, this is the only part of France where any small breweries have survived. |

| Brewpub in a former cinema. It used to be called Taverne de L'Ecu. The interior is cavernous (as you would expect) kitted out in a fairly bland, slightly kitsch style. The location - just off the Grande Place - is very convenient. | |
