About
The brewery was founded in 1866 and in 1950, after several takeovers and mergers, it was renamed Brasserie Artesienne. In 1985, the brewery was bought by the Saint-Arnould group and renamed the Saint-Omer brewery.

Brasserie Facon in Pont-de-Briques and Brasserie Semeuse in Lille merged with Brasserie de Saint-Omer in 1995 and the new company resulting from this merger was given the name GSA Brasseries.

In 1996 the Pecqueur family sold the brewery to the Heineken group. In 2008, Heineken decided to divest the brewery and André Pecqueur, CEO of the brewery, took over the brewery again. The brasserie de Saint-Omer thus regained its independence and returned to the Pecqueur family. With an annual production of 2 million hl in 2019, it is the largest independent brewery in France.

Reserve de St. Omer from Brasserie Saint-Omer

Bottle at home. So utterly characterless that I can’t even start to describe it. Not particularly bad, but it’s like drinking slighty flavoured water.

Doble Malta from Brasserie Saint-Omer

5.8/10 — Appearance 10 Aroma 4 Flavor 5.5 Texture 6 Overall 5.5
0,33 boks fra Mercadonas begredelige utvalg, men må man så må man: klar kobbergylden med perfekt skum som varer til bunns og vel så det. Ganske god maltsmak faktisk, og urtebitterheten er også akseptabel. Litt furunål, men lite citrus.

3.9/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 3 Flavor 3.5 Texture 4 Overall 3
Balkongreiting i Nerja, nå en 033 boks fra Mercadona: klar dyp gyllen med fint skum som varer. Utseendet er det beste med denne, som dufter og smaker slik du kan forvente av et øl til 50 cent, altså lite og ingenting. Velsignet kort ettersmak.

Davelghem Blonde from Brasserie Saint-Omer
1 year ago
5.4/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 5 Texture 4 Overall 5.5
Bottiglia 25 cl. Il gusto al naso è indirizzato verso l'orzo. L'olfatto viene stimolato in maniera normale e la maniera in cui permane è sufficiente. Il manto birroso superiore non è molto persistente. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido è di aspetto cristallino. Il colore è ramato. Il corpo è rotondo. L'amaro è poco incisivo. La forza gustativa è normale e si prolunga in modo sufficiente. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di facile beva. Il retrogusto è di media intensità. L'aroma in bocca porta i segni di caramello, miele, biscotto, frutta secca, erba e agrumi.
