Blue Coast Brewing Company is a craft brewery based in Nice, on the French Riviera. The Blue Coast adventure began during a craft brewery tour in Southern California, where a group of enthusiasts gathered and found their shared passion for craft beer. Inspired by the American craft beer scene, they brought that vision back to the south of France, establishing a brewery that reflects both the laid-back coastal lifestyle of the Côte d'Azur and the bold flavours of West Coast brewing culture. Blue Coast's portfolio covers a broad range of styles, from accessible everyday pours to more ambitious brews. Their lineup includes a Blonde, a Blonde Sans Alcool (0.3%), a fruit-forward Costa Limon, and more complex offerings such as the Echoes of Time Sherry Russian Imperial Stout. Their NEIPA has drawn particular attention, described as resinous and vibrant with a zingy bitter twist and slightly tropical character — a nod to their Californian roots. The brewery demonstrates a genuine range, bridging approachable styles with technically challenging fermentation projects. Visitors to Nice can experience Blue Coast firsthand through a guided brewery tour, drinks in the taproom, or a seat on the sunny terrace. The brewery's NEIPA packaging, under the name Noise Beer, was recognised as a winner at the Dieline Awards 2026, highlighting the brand's creative ambitions beyond the glass.
