In 2011, members of the Confrérie du Busson, a group of beer lovers and amateur brewers, relaunched the Brasserie de la Lesse, which was active in the 20th century in the village of Lessive. To do this, they brought back into service the former Brasserie Rezette, which once brewed 'La Rochefortoise' beers in the heart of the village of Éprave. The new brewery was set up as a cooperative enterprise.

The support of Crédal, a solidarity fund for microfinance and inclusive entrepreneurship, and 160 daring cooperators provided the small business with sufficient financial base to get back on track and produce its first brew in January 2012. At the end of 2017, the brewery took up residence in a renovated farmhouse a little further down the street. Now housed in an eco-construction building equipped with high-performance brewery equipment, a new page is opening in the history of this small Rochefort brewery.
