Something’s afoot in Paris, but it has nothing to do with kings or the bourgeoisie. The culprit: specialty beer. From microbrewers to bar owners, meet the people leading the uprising.

2015 Map of breweries in France (huge)

Notice there's only one hop farm listed, Coophounord. The only ones I really recognize are Thiriez, Thieller, Gayants, St. Sylvester (3 Monts), and Choulette. Lebbe isn't on there for some reason.

Here's a good article on Daniel Thiriez and his influence on American saisons.

Update: France has 1400 breweries

That seems like a crazy amount. Who knew?
