How do you really stand out in 1986, Belgium’s “Year of Beer”?
The answer: a Moinette Brune of course!

30 years after the Moinette was born, the Brasserie Dupont unveiled its first variation for the occasion!

Nothing beats seeing in the new year with the best wishes (“bons vœux” in French) of the Brasserie Dupont.

The “Bons Vœux” was born in 1970. Back then, if you were lucky enough to taste some on New Year’s Day, you must have been a very loyal customer! Exclusive and highly sought after, this beer was brewed in limited quantities. It would be pre-ordered months in advance by its most passionate fans.

It is now available to buy in shops... because it has to be said, best wishes are only worth something if they are shared!

Saison Dupont Dry Hopping was first brewed back in 2010.

We use the dry hopping technique to bring out the aroma of the hops. As the beer matures, we infuse aromatic “Styrian Wolf” hops to enhance its sunny, refreshing character. Can you taste it?

Sylva released Rédor after the war. An exceptional pils lager with a bold name!
Over 70 years ago, Sylva Rosier, who became manager after his uncle Louis Dupont, launched the only bottom-fermented beer in our range, which is filtered but not pasteurised.

A simply remarkable beer: barley malt is the only source of starch in the brewhouse, which, like the absence of pasteurisation, is very rare. While most of today’s pils use raw ungerminated grains (corn, rice etc.), often for technical or economic reasons, Rédor is still a traditional “pure malt”.

A simply original name: To make up for the fact that he could not call it “dorée” (“golden”), which was already used by the competition, Sylva turned the problem to his advantage and launched Rédor, swapping the two syllables “dor” and “rée”. Quite a neat solution I’m sure you’ll agree!

In the Dupont family, know-how is passed down from one generation to the next. Our values focus on using traditional brewing methods and showcasing natural ingredients.

This was the approach taken by Marc Rosier, the manager at the time, in his quest for innovation in 1990.
He decided to brew beers using organically grown ingredients. And so Saison Dupont Bio and Moinette Bio were born... The first organic beers marketed in Belgium!

As a pioneer of this movement, the Brasserie Dupont paved the way for the niche market of organic beers, which is now booming. Since then, Olivier Dedeycker, who joined the family business in 1990, has expanded the organic range with Bière de Miel, Biolégère and Blanche du Hainaut.

The Kunstencentrum De Vooruit in Ghent asked the brewery to come up with a way to celebrate its 100th anniversary.

The idea was to go back to basics and focus on the brewing activities that were based here in the 1900s.

Our brewery was happy to take up the challenge and create a tailor-made beer. Given the success of this new beer, it really should become a staple on the production line to be shared with all our customers! It is called “Triomf”, as a nod to the beer of the same name produced by the Brasserie Vooruit in Ghent.
