Best craft beer bars in Paris
Planning a night out in Paris, but where to find some good craft beer? Luckily, Paris is home to some of the best French craft beers. Thus, there are plenty of beer bars in Paris you can visit.
Before there were beer bars and beer gained popularity, there were cafes in Paris with a beer licence. In the 13th century, Paris saw the first cafe with permission to sell beer. Before that, people could buy beer from the brewers. Luckily, those days are over, and now we can enjoy a good beer in a proper beer bar.
