Tip: One of the few breweries in France where you can also eat a proper weekday lunch beside the tanks.
Address: 53 rue du faubourg boutonnet, 34090 Montpellier
SOMI brews in the Croix d'Argent business quarter south-west of the centre, a weekday bottle shop with a Thursday and Friday taproom beside the tanks.
Tip: Treat Thursday and Friday evenings as the visit window; the rest of the week is shop-only.
Fauve Craft Bière brews IPAs and sours at its Vendargues plant inside the Montpellier métropole, with a weekday taproom poured at the source.
Tip: The brewery moved to this purpose-built Vendargues site in January 2025; check the fridge for taproom-only releases.
ZooBrew opens its Castelnau-le-Lez brewhouse to drinkers on Thursday and Friday nights, fresh beer at the eastern edge of the Montpellier tram map.
Tip: Two nights only; pair it with dinner back in the centre since the brewery pours but does not cook.
Le Comptoir des Brasseurs runs the Odysseum brewpub in Port Marianne, beers brewed behind the bar and a full brasserie card served every day.
Tip: The seven-day opening and food menu make it the family-friendly brewery option in the city.
Le Détour brews on Rue du Pasteur Jean Cadier in Montpellier and pours through Le Réservoir, the taproom it shares with Sacrilège and Brewing Bears.
Tip: Skip the brewery door and head to the shared Le Réservoir taproom, where all three house breweries pour side by side.
Le Réservoir is Brasserie Sacrilège's taproom on Rue Montels Saint-Pierre, pouring the house range plus guest kegs from other Montpellier brewers.
Tip: Le Détour and several other city brewers pour here too, so it doubles as a tasting shortcut.
