" La Cagole " was the idea of two childhood friends who were enjoying a drink in a seaside cottage at Sormiou cove. Both men, dreaming of old Marseille and their love of beer, invented a beer that would reflect the color of Pagnol's Old Port. So César and Marius set about creating this golden-colored beer with a distinctive Provençal taste, which they served on the terrace of the Bar de la Marine!
