Julien – A French microbiologist and professor at Lausanne University in Switzerland who grew up with Asian cinema. He has always been a fan of artisanal beer, and is an avid home brewer. After a trip to Taiwan, he fell in love with the country’s people and culture. He decided to drop everything and move to Taiwan to share his passion for artisanal beer.

With all of this passion around artisanal beer, they decided to begin a new adventure: make their own brand of artisanal beer in Taiwan. Cyril and Julien started to learn with Kjetil Jikiun, a world renowned master brewer and one of the founders of the famous Norwegian brewery Nøgne Ø, and today the founder of Solo beer in Greece. After learning from the master, Cyril and Julien decided to fly under their own strength and achieve their dreams. The Formosa Brewing Company was born.
