How to find breweries in France that actually make their own beer?
I've just moved to France, and I'm in love with craft beer. However, every time I find a brasserie ("brewery"), it's 99% of the time a simple bar that has more imports than the "standard" imports (Tripel Karmeliet, Rince Cochon, things like that). If I wanted any of the Belgian imports (I'm in the north of France), I would just go to a specialty beer store in the area where they're cheaper, or go to Belgium directly.
I want local stuff made by the French - bière artisanale (craft beer) made by the establishment. There are a million and one breweries in the U.S. and they're easy to find by searching "brewery" on Google Maps/other services, but nothing seems to understand brasserie that well... or these establishments are just mislabeling themselves... or I'm searching the wrong thing!
How can I find craft beer breweries in France? What search terms should I use, and how can I filter them by establishments that actual make beer?
