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, 75cl. An amber, almost clear beer with a coarse beige head. Lovely spiced nose with caramel, tea, citrus, some alcohol and a little bit of cellar and dried fruits. Warming in the mouth, maybe a tad much for a beer at 8%, but in a pleasant way. Full-bodied and effervescent, with flavors of sweetness, tea, caramel, roasted malt and a slightly herbal bitterness. Lasting finish with bitterness, herbs, sweetness and alcohol. The beer is maybe a bit edgey, but still lovely. (080829)

Bottle from Dranken Geers. Cloudy red/brown/gold, thick creamy pink head. Lovely raspberry ripple ice cream aroma. Some decent fruit. Very creamy. But also a bit watery on end too. Not my favourite beer. Alcohol is a bit obvious. Fruit is a bit creamy, some sourness on end. Not great.

Bottle: Poured a deep pink/purple color ale with a nice foamy head with good retention and minimal lacing. Aroma dominated by Myrtille with some cough syrup notes which I didn’t particularly enjoy. Taste is also dominated by some strong notes of Myrtille with some notes of cough syrup also noticeable. This was a very weird mix and not one that I particularly enjoy.
