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.

Dark chocolaty brown, big cloudy beige head. Aroma is fruity (lychee, banana) with some metallic notes. Carbonated, crisp, a bit hoppy and alcoholic. Citric-lemony flavor. Despite of color, quite triple-like. Not too sweet even as candy sugar is added here. (6/4/7/3/13 3.3). Re-rated bottle [BB 12/2008]. 5/4/6/2/10 2.7

Hazy red amber ale with a thick off-white head, making spikes. Nice aroma of coriander and honey, with a nice alcohol perfume. Sweet candy sugar with nice caramel, oranges and coriander notes. Medium bodied. Nice alcohol in finish. Bottle at the Gouden Kroon, near Bruges, May 2 2005.

Bottled (BB 07/2006)
Hazy orangy-yellow (peach-like) color, lots of floating yeast, nice steady and creamy white head, some lace. Sweet apricot and yeast aroma. Medium to full bodied, quite sweet, sugary and fruity. Banana sweetness - yeast - character, a bit DDB-like. Alcohol is well hidden. Too sweet and sugary to be really enjoyable but maybe that’s for the Christmas.

(Bottle 33 cl) Hazy red with a creamy, pinkish head. Distinct berry aroma. Plenty of raspberry notes in the flavour, but dry and lightly tart. No real sweetnes at all, but a very pronounced alcohol feel. Certainly a different fruit beer, but not one I’d care to try again. 231005

An unclear red beer with a pink head. It has a strange artificial raspberry aroma, and the flavor is also very artificially raspberry. Not my cup of tea.

Hazy red, pinky. Good big creamy red head. A bit tart rasberry nose, slightly artifical. Dry, slightly sour with taste of rasberries. Same time quite watery - hoppy but lacks decent malt profile.

Draught at Belgian Beer Weekend 2005, Brussels, Belgium
A sparkling, yellow body with a fully lasting, white head. Excellent lace. Moderately bitter initial flavour, lightly bitter finish (averagily long). Soft carbonation. It’s a nice example of it’s style, but not that special concerned in the battle with the beers from all the styles.

Draught Murky orange with olive shine; orange coloured, very dense head. Very fruity nose, flowery, blossoms, bit of malts and wheat. Very dry taste, little coriander but the orangey-citrus taste (as from the peel) is reinforced by the coloured malts. Some slickness, medium bodied, fairly refreshing, but maybe less than an ordinary wit. Deserves credit for just existing. And it’s far from bad.

Rating #1600. Hazy yellow color, huge white Duvel-like head, lace. Yeast, lemon and banana in aroma. Medium-bodied, liquerish mouthfeel. Sweetish with hoppy-lemony backbone. Fruity: banana and some apricot, also some dry cardboard and yeasty flavors. Alcohol is evident. Suprisingly short finish (oily, citrusy, fruity).

(Bottle 33 cl) Amber coloured with lots of impurities and a thick and solid head. Vinuos nose - almost like a dry white wine. Extremely potent, the alcohol is very prominent - almost like in a Danish strong lager, which is not really a recommandation. Spicy - like in cough syrup. Herbal notes - but basically just alcoholic. Bit of a disappointment from Caulier. 080702
