Description
The brewery’s five founders got together by sheer chance back in 2012. They shared an attachment to their city, to design and distinctive traditional products, so they decided to create a beer in Namur with a strong identity and a taste they had not yet encountered in a speciality beer. The project was off and running. In May 2013 the first brew was launched.

The Houppe’s success gave things a boost, and a genuine Brewery project gradually emerged, reconnecting Namur to its proud brewing tradition.
The Brasserie de Namur established its headquarters in May 2015 in the former Balon-Perrin brewery (dating back to 1812) on the left bank of the Meuse, less than a kilometre from the city centre.
