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.

opened with a bang, and after half a second to make it a bit more dramatic i guess, beer and foam gushed out of the bottle and into my glass as good as i could aim the beergeyser. beer cooled off fast after that. opening bang was forceful enough to make the swingtop mechanism unhinge from one of its holes on the bottle. cloudy red, small particles, large messy white-pink head, which goes away fast, leaving a bubbly smooth film. nice aroma of blueberries, alc and a bit sourness, faint bubblegum. flavor is boozy, turns quickly bitter, ending blueberry fruity and bitter. so mostly fruity alc bitterness.

swingtop bottle, at the end of it’s shelf life. almost clear golden, small offwhite head. slight sour aroma, spicy, strong. flavor is spicy, fruity, boozy, citrussy, old beer. this bottle was best before about the same time that we sampled it, and it had distinct flavors due to old beer, so don’t keep it. better fresh.

33cl swingtop bottle, from trappisten in Denmark. as i swung open the bottle i got soaked in beer, also my keyboard, and my desk and the floor was hit,it got all over my shirt, the beer exploded out of the bottle with a big bang. I managed to immediatly pour some into the glass which foamed over, but i got the pressure out of the bottle. cloudy brown, small fluffy offwhite head. yeasty slightly floral aroma, faint spices, faint sourness. flavor is fruity, slighly sour, caramel, licorice, alc, spices.. flavor is fine, a little alcoholic perhaps.

Bottle, 7.5%. Vinous aroma, rough bitterness or perhaps it is just the alcohol that is rough in the nose. Hazy dark golden colour. Small stable white head. The flavour is quite sweet. The sweetness is OK, but there is a lot of rough alcohol flavour as well. Unpolished.
