à BLOC Superprestige Bicycle Beer is a craft beer brewed for cyclists. It's a refreshing, unfiltered blonde ale, rich in proteins and vitamins. Riding "à bloc" means going "flat out". Our beer is the perfect drink for after a ride. And because we want you to ride your bike and drink our great tasting beer every possible day of your life, we’ve added Alpine Minerals to improve rehydration and recovery. à BLOC is there where cycling achievements are celebrated and stories are told. Performance and challenging each other are some of life’s great experiences. Through them, friendships are forged, especially in cycling. Wherever we ride, we always carry with us a portion of our sport’s rich legacy. We wait at the top of the climb, and return together, because our performances are of little value if we cannot share them with friends. We ride together because it’s simply better to share our experiences. The language of cycling is universal. Cycling binds us together, making friendships which can last for years or just till the finish line.
