The Micro Brasserie de Chamonix brews its own ales and lagers on the premises, with a rotating selection that usually includes a pale ale, a dark beer, and a seasonal special alongside the standard lagers. The bar is calmer than the après-ski venues and draws a crowd that has already had its fill of skiing and wants to sit down properly, which means it is at its best in the early evening before the main dinner rush.
The food is simple — burgers, charcuterie boards — and designed to go with beer. The terrace is pleasant in summer. This is a better option than most if you want to try locally produced beer without the thundering soundtrack of a ski-boot disco.
