Brasserie Meteor, founded in 1640, is France's oldest independent family-owned brewery, located in Hochfelden, Alsace. With over eight generations of brewing tradition, the Haag family continues to uphold a commitment to quality and innovation. Meteor's dedication to excellence is evident, having won over 113 medals in the past decade, including a Silver Medal for the Meteor White IPA at the World Beer Awards 2021. An interesting fact about Meteor is its environmental commitment; in 2015, it became the first brewery in France to be awarded the ISO 50001 certification for its energy management system.
