Les Houblonnées: Why JOYART is reinventing the aperitif (without fermentation)
You may have noticed: the golden hue, the delicate sparkle, and a name that echoes the hop. Yet, make no mistake: JOYART’s “Houblonnées” range is not an alcohol-free beer. Here is the secret behind our creation.
1- A visual tribute, a revolutionary recipe
At first glance, it looks familiar. That’s intentional: we’ve kept the codes of conviviality and freshness. But while most alcohol-free beers are made by removing alcohol or stopping fermentation, JOYART has taken a different path.
2- Zéro Fermentation: the secret to absolute 0.0%
Our major difference? A total absence of fermentation.
-
Truly 0.0%: Unlike some “alcohol-free” beers that can contain up to 0.5%, our infusion process guarantees an absolute 0.0% alcohol content.
-
Pure Flavor: You experience hops in their most noble state—crisp, aromatic, and free from the heavy aftertaste of fermentation.
-
Light & Healthy: Low in sugar and calories (approx. 20 kcal/100 ml) with no added flavors. Just pure pleasure.
3- the art of cold infusion (dry hopping)
The secret to our intensity? Dry Hopping. We select exceptional French hop flowers and let them steep in a cold infusion. This specialized craftsmanship allows us to extract a fragrant and complex aromatic profile, releasing the perfect essence of the hops without excessive bitterness.
-
La Houblonnée Blanche: Floral freshness with vibrant citrus notes.
-
La Houblonnée Rouge: Fruity structure, notes of red berries, and a woody depth.
-
La Houblonnée Ginger: A tonic and spicy marriage of hops and fresh ginger.
4- The connoisseur’s verdict
Sharing a JOYART Houblonnée is the guarantee of a joyful moment and a character-filled tasting experience… all without the buzz.
