Matthieu Ressejac and Germain Croisille, long-time friends, created the microbrewery Les Acolytes in 2016 in the middle of the Château les Croisille vineyard, in Cahors, where Germain is the winemaker.

Matthieu started to make beers in his garage in 2015 with a kit that he bought on the internet. He loves to try new experiences and constantly improves his skills.

They were joined by their friend Antoine in 2018, who worked for 6 years in Quito, Ecuador at the brewery Los 3 Monjes. He shared his experience and together they produce organic and artisanal beers, always looking for balance, fineness and pleasure.

The first beer that was produced by Brasserie les Acolytes was Clandestina. Since then, the three "acolytes" (friends) have kept creating new beers that are both original and environmentally friendly : organic certified, with no additives, and no filtration.
