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.

Can shared at tasting with friends. Clear golden color, small white head. Aroma and flavor are malts, a bit bitter, white peppers, quite nicely bitter. Overall though, mwah. Not a big fan. A bit one dimensional.

Bottle at le mondiale 2011. Another sweet syrupy fruit beer. Tastes like blueberry pie filling. Just a sweet juice/beer sugar bomb. Pass!

330 ml swing top bottle. Pours a bright amber with light head. Aromas of earthy esters, banana, candied fruit and biscuity malts. Flavors of dried citrus, banana, fruity Belgian yeast and a nice sharp toasty malt. Very good.

From tap at CASPAR, Arnhem. Aroma of bready malt, fruits, some citrus, sugar, light yeast, apples, hoppy notes. Flavour is moderate to medium sweet with a light to moderate bitter finish. Hint of alcohol noticeable, this is a heavy beer. Body is medium to full. Decent Belgian Strong Ale, but overall unremarkable and a bit sweetish.
