About
It was in 1973 that the adventure of the "Au Baron" brewery began. Alain Bailleux then purchased the last bistro in the village there. There he meets Danielle who will become his wife. Together, they embark on small catering. Later, Alain and his father, retired master brewer, challenge each other; create a craft brewery. This will be done on June 8, 1989 when Gussignies inaugurated the village brewery with Saint-Médard, a beer inspired by the farm-breweries of yesteryear. For a few years now, Florence and Xavier have taken over the reins of the family business and continue to make the Baron prosper by adding a local store where you can buy beers and products from local producers.

Lekker klassiek Belgo saisonneke. Zacht zoet, ook droog, grassig, bloemig, zacht bitter. Romig schuimig. Smakelijk.

Bottle shared. Bit hazy golden with huge white head. Cloves, allspice, sweet wheat, soft lemon balm, marzipan. Medium sweet, light bitter. Medium bodied with quite some carbonation. Very nice.

Flaska från Etre Gourmete drucken med ölföreningen. En riktigt bra saison. Lätt, krispig och välbalanserad. Åt det torrare lite beskare hållet. Mycket gott

Not like a typical Tripel, a bit thinner and definitely blonder as the label says. Really nice.

75cl bottle from Au Baron on a freezing cold March evening. Pours unclear deep mahogany brown, large off-white head. Rich caramelised toffee malt aroma. Flavour profile presents excellent harmony, wonderfully balanced, excellent dark sweet depth, some gentle spice.. didn't now it was brewed with Elderberries when I had it, didn't particularly jump out. Still, a fantastic dark brune.

75cl bottle from Au Baron. Cracked open after a ride in the Cote d'Opale sun. Pours a hazed gold, large white head. Aroma of spicy saison yeast. Great saison character, wonderfully balanced with gentle spicy hints, light herbal moments, zesty rind.. shines with a good balanced saison yeast profile. Really satisfying.

75cl bottle from Au Baron. Misty blonde pour with a large white head. Gentle malt sweetness on the nose. Light and fresh in feel, clean and nicely balanced, not too light bodied. Not much of the original spicy saison remaining, a little bland in that regard, but no off notes typical of some AF beers. Pretty decent.

75cl bottle @ Belgian Beer Geeks Winter Gathering. Final, surprise beer of the night. Pours a misty pink, white head. Aroma of creamy red berry yoghurt. Soft palate, creamy raspberry feel rather than blackberries, not overly fruity with a breezy grisette body. Great beer to finish.
