Description
For more than 10 years, in Péronne in the Somme, with the De Clercks, it is Joséphine who has been in charge of the family brewery. A physical profession with a thousand facets but above all one of passion that she exercises alongside her brother Pierre and under the eyes of Eliane, her mother. It's truly a family job. Because at the De Clerck family, originally from Hazebrouck in North Flanders, beer has been made from father to son since 1774. First in Hondeghem in Flanders. Joséphine's great-uncle settled in Péronne in the Somme in 1926.

Pierre De Clerck founded the company which still bears his name with his brother. The oldest family brewery in Hauts-de-France was taken over in 1975 by his nephew Michel. Michel is Joséphine's father.
The 70s were the end of the golden age of brewers and the rise of supermarkets. You have to adapt to new habits. Or close. With his wife Eliane, Michel manages to keep the company going by innovating and creating beers with a Picardy accent. When we tell you that beer is a family affair for the De Clercks...

In 2006, the year her father Michel died, Joséphine returned to the brewery, starting with the sales and administrative department "for at least 4 years. Then, I set about learning manufacturing while keeping in parallel sales and administration. I learned on the job. I learned to do everything that needs to be done in a small business like ours. I saw my parents work in the brewery, I "I saw how beer was made, so I continued trying to keep the way of working and the traditions that had existed for a very long time. As best as I could."

Concession to modernity: the renewal and computerization of the brewing room. A decision taken by her mother Eliane, at the head of the company until 2011, when Joséphine took the reins. "A company that does not innovate is a company that stagnates, who retreats and ends up dying,” assures Eliane.

Bottle. Color: Clear amber, off-white head. Aroma: Malty, spicy gints, butter notes. Taste: Malty, grainy, some butter and some hop. Don't think this beer was meant to be like this. I think it has some kind of infection. Not good.
