let's tap into their story!

The Brasserie Dupont started as a farm in 1759 before becoming the Rimaux-Derrider farm-brewery in 1844. The farm-brewery specialised in the production of honey and Saison beers which were popular among farm-breweries as Saison beers were typically produced in winter for consumption on the fields in summer.
Simple and True: The story of Brasserie Dupont
In 1920, Louis Dupont wanted to purchase a farm in Canada. To dissuade him from doing so, his father - Alfred Dupont - bought him the Rimaux-Derrider farm-brewery in the village of Tourpes and he renamed it Brasserie Dupont. Dupont spun a new take on the basic Saison recipe and created what we know today as the Saison Dupont. In 1945, Dupont handed the brewery over to his nephew Sylva Rosier, who was a brewing engineer and engineering consultant.

After the Second World War, many small Belgian breweries went under as they could not keep up with the demand. It was thanks to Rosier’s extensive knowledge and the birth of the Redor Pils that ensured the survival of the Brasserie Dupont. At the time, Pils beers became very popular in Belgium, and Redor Pils became an instant hit the moment it was released.
Rosier had 3 children, 2 of whom became very involved with the brewery. His daughter Claude worked with him to develop the Rola laboratory - which carries out the brewery and malting plant analyses. Meanwhile, his son Marc worked with him on several projects.
Dupont’s flagship beer is the Saison Dupont - a classic Belgian seasonal ale that was first brewed in 1844 and is now a world-class example of the Belgian Saisons style. In fact, in 2015, the Men's Journal Magazine claimed that the Saison Dupont was “The Best Beer In The World”!

The Belgian Saison is an increasingly rare specialty beer that originated before the convenient age of refrigeration and was created to quench the thirst of seasonal farm workers. This unique beer style required durability, as the beer needed to be sturdy enough to age in the bottle throughout winter, but it also needed to be refreshing, so that it can be enjoyed in the hot summer days.

As such, the name “Saison” - which means “season” in French - perfectly encapsulates the beer’s characteristics. Dupont’s delicious blonde ale is the perfect example, as it is marked by alluring fragrances of grapefruit and cloves, has a clean, refreshing body, and a dense head.

In 1990, Marc Rosier was known as Belgium’s pioneer of organic beers with the release of the Moinette Biologique and the Saison Biologique. From then on, Dupont’s range continued to expand with the Bière de Miel Biologique, the Biolégère, and the Blanche du Hainaut Biologique.

Dupont Brewery: a family-run brewery with great beers!

Today, the Brasserie Dupont is still family-owned and run by Rosier’s children and grandchildren. Rosier’s grandson - Olivier Dedeycker - is the 4th generation of the Dupont family and he joined the company in 1990 as a brewing engineer. In 2002, Dedeycker took over the Brasserie Dupont from Rosier and has been running it as the brewer and operations manager since.

Throughout its rich history, Brasserie Dupont has remained committed to traditional brewing methods which resulted in award-winning beers that have stolen the hearts of beer lovers all around the world!
