Le Détour ★ 3.9

BreweryGambettaBrewery shop by appointment; beers poured at the shared Le Réservoir taproom Tue-Fri 12:00-00:00 and Sat-Sun 16:00-00:00

Le Détour brews on Rue du Pasteur Jean Cadier in Montpellier and pours through Le Réservoir, the taproom it shares with two other city brewers.

Order: Whichever Le Détour keg is pouring at the shared taproom, from the wheat to the smoked porter.

Why locals love it: A Montpellier brewery with no taproom of its own; the beer is poured a street away at a shared bar, and the brewery shop opens only by appointment, which keeps it off every list.

Tip: The brewery shop is by appointment only; the beer is easier to find on tap at Le Réservoir.
