Brasserie De Saint Feuillien
In 1125, a group of young religious founded the Abbey of Saint-Feuillien in the town of Le Roeulx. The abbey also has a brewery. Like many religious institutions, the abbey is closed in 1796 during the French Revolution. Saint-Feuillien beer is disappearing... Fortunately, not for long.
St-Feuillien Brewery was founded in 1873 by Stéphanie Friart. In 1910 she handed over the business to her cousin, Benoît Friart, who took over another brewery in the city center in 1920. Production is being transferred to these more modern buildings, which until recently housed most of the current facilities. Benoît Friart operates both sites until 1939.
From 1950, the brewery produces a lager called Rhodia. The name is a reference to the Rhodiens, inhabitants of the town of Le Roeulx. Of course, the St-Feuillien was also brewed, which was already available in the Blond and Brown versions.
In 1988, the production of the first brew of the St-Feuillien Triple, bottled in champagne bottles (Magnum 1.5 l - Jeroboam 3 l - Methusalem 6 l - Salmanazar 9 l), followed, a first in Belgium.
From 1993 to 1998, all buildings dating from the 19th century were restored.
