Description
In 1933 Charles Caulier, a miner, left his job and decided to set up as a beer reseller in Bonsecours, a small village in the south of Belgium. In 1980, Roger and Linda Caulier took over the family business and continued progressing.
The warehouses soon became too cramped so they took over the buildings of a former tannery in Péruwelz. The products of the Brewery are still brewed in these buildings today.

In the early 1990s, Roger and Linda decided to market their own beer: a custom-made high fermentation blonde. The Bon Secours was born! These were promising beginnings but they still dreamt of creating their own brewery. A dream which became reality when they bought the machinery from the Deneve brewery in Schepdaal and inaugurated the first brew in 1996!

In 2007, the NV Brasserie Caulier was declared bankrupt. At the beginning of 2008, the activities were transferred to a private limited company of the sons of Roger Caulier, who subsequently adopted the name Brasserie et Distillerie Caulier. As of 2012, Laurent, Bertrand and Vincent joined their parents in the adventure. In order to respond to the growing demand for its products, in 2018 the Brewery began a large multi-annual programme of investments with the goal of tripling its production capacity. The historical Brewing House has been extended, new fermentation and storage tanks have been added, and the bottling line has been modernised.

Bottle 33 cl. Pours a cloudy golden with a white head. Spicy, yeasty nose. Rich, sweet, fruity and again quite spicy - coriander? Phenols are luckily downplayed. Alcohol well hidden. To the sweet side indeed. Beautiful bottle with painted label. 221122

Can at home. Orangy color, huge full sized white head. Aroma and flavor are malts, hops, somewhat fruity, mango-ish, moderately bitter. Not bad.

Troebel lichtgeel bier met schuim. Smaak is vrij vlak met iets van citrus en wat gerookt hout. Munt heb ik er niet echt in kunnen ontdekken.

Draft at Moon and Sons. Quite hazy orange golden. Mirabelle and hibiscus indeed. Smells like candy. Wheat. Tangerine. Medium sweet and lighter bitter. Too much candy smell though it doesn’t taste like candy.
