Established in 1996
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.

Short-lived white head over lemonjuice- coloured beer. Mint, chaff & lemon nose, fresh, but a bit "ye olde toilet-shoppe" like. Pale malts abund, very citrussy. Lots of malt and an outspoken touch of acidity, lactic, ending on metallic tasting, weird, near-oxyidized grain. Refreshing, but not very lively beer, light bodied. Definitely the total conversion has its consequences. It’s not undeserving, refreshing enough, but no aspirations at greatness.

Bottled. A hazy golden beer with a bit of sediment floating around under a thin bubbly white head. The aroma is sweet malty with strong notes of fruit and alcohol and lesser notes of spices and some oxidation - even though it is wihtin the best before date. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of fruit, cork (even though it is not corked), and alcohol, as well as medium notes of spices, leading to a dry fruity finish. One powerful beer - I wonder how it is very fresh, mine is I guess 1½ years old, yet within the best before date.

Bottled at Belgobaren, Stockholm. Hazy amber, explosive huge rocky head. Yeasty black currant aroma. Bittersweet and somewhat fruity, lively carbonation with a dense core of malt undernetah. Notes of bready malt, kiwi fruits and winegum as well as flowery hops. Piney and spritzy. A pleasant gently warming complex summer rains beer.

Bottle at Københavnske Øldage. Dark, red, with a nice, dense, pink head. Raspberry, blackcurrant, strawberries and offcourse blueberry in the aroma, mostly blueberries, and there’s a little spice-hint as well. Berries, sugar and some spice in the flavor. Quite fizzy, and lightly sweet in the mouth. Too much berries and too little else in this one, but it is refreshing. (070512)

Very pale gold, nowhere murky, unless the bottle is shaken; gushing-exploding to a huge, very equal white head. Bit oily, with virtually no wheatbeer characteristics. No coriander, no orangepeel, even no wheat. Strange. Sweet, again no "wit" notes, exept the very perfumey character - but it is like a light top-fermenting barley brew, not a wheat. Medium bodied, quite slick, nearly viscous. Poor witbier, even without coriandersurplus. I’m sure it will be bettered for the next batch (first try).
