Our Story

Ancre Pils, the inaugural brew of the Brasserie de l'Espérance established in 1746 in Strasbourg, is a true local gem. Its name is inspired by the anchor atop Saint-Guillaume Church's bell tower, a beacon of hope for the riverboatmen nearby. Even today, its emblem graces the stained glass windows and the floor of the brewery hall, a testament to the beer's deep roots in the region's heritage. Rich in history and quality, Ancre Pils is a delightful choice for those seeking refreshment and a taste of tradition.
