L’Autre Brasserie is a refreshing addition to Bedford’s craft beer scene, blending thoughtful simplicity with a philosophical approach to brewing. Founded in 2020 by Louis-Philippe Auger, Jean-Philippe Lahaise, and Julie Reinling, this microbrewery thrives within the historic Bedford Lofts—a former needle factory turned creative incubator.

Focusing on low-alcohol beers that prioritize yeast over hops, L’Autre Brasserie’s lineup includes the light and crisp Grisette (3.8%), alongside the balanced Session and Pale Ale (both under 5.3%). Their brewing ethos resists excess, championing subtlety and approachability over gimmicks. Even their cans feature reflective phrases with “autre” as a recurring theme, emphasizing their distinct identity.
