The cup

The second MAME location, opened in September 2023 by World Brewers Cup champion Emi Fukahori and Mathieu Theis in the Plainpalais neighbourhood. The same approach as the original — championship-grade sourcing, precision brewing, a focused menu — in the arty southern district near the flea market.
