The Festival International de Peinture de Magné is delighted to count the Brasserie Artisanale Tête de Mule among its partners.
Created in 2014, the Tête de Mule craft brewery is located in Coulon, in the heart of the Marais Poitevin, in a natural, unspoilt environment. Tête de Mule beers were awarded the Prix d'Excellence 2020 at the Concours Général Agricole in Paris, and more recently in 2025 for the "Maraîchine du 79" beer.
made using traditional methods. They are neither filtered nor pasteurised, and are refermented in the bottle.
Originally, the brewing tanks were located in a former dairy, a former industrial site rehabilitated by the Marais Poitevin Regional Park. Although this historic site has an undeniable charm, the Tête de Mule brewery team was beginning to feel cramped and decided to move to a new, more modern building in 2023.
Rest assured, the old dairy remains the historic heart of the Coulonnaise brewery. While this new production facility was essential to the continued development of the brand in the area, the dairy will gradually become a convivial place with a bar, a shop, a seminar room and, above all, will continue to host the gourmet markets every summer, an association of local producers of which the Tête de Mule craft brewery is a member.
This commitment to the local community is also reflected in the many partnerships with local sports clubs and numerous charitable and cultural associations, including the Magné International Painting Festival, which has been running for 5 years. As well as being the official beer of the festival, La Brasserie is offering a personalised bottle in the colours of the festival poster.
For Sébastien COURTIN, the brewery's founder, and his teams, it's only natural to support a local event with a long history, especially as the festival has been moving to Coulon for a day in recent years. For the last 3 years, thanks to this partnership, the gourmet markets have moved from the dairy to the Entremont car park, to be at the heart of the festival and to be part of the various activities on offer during this day in Coulon.
While you're waiting to taste the excellent Tête de Mule craft beer in the refreshment stands at the 37th Magné International Painting Festival, you can visit the craft brewery at 2 rue du Port de Brouillac in Coulon and sample a delicious Tête de Mule beer.
