Who doesn't know today the famous Goudale, the flagship product of Les Brasseurs de Gayant? It takes its name from the Middle Ages when good beers were called goudale or good ale (in English) produced not by the cervoisier or brewer but by the goudalier.
The brewery was created in 1929 in Douai following the reunion of four local breweries. Its name refers to the two giants of the city, Madame and Monsieur Gayant. The company was bought in 1955 by the d'Aubreby family before being sold a few years ago by André Pecqueur, the owner of the Saint-Omer brewery. Following this purchase, the brewery moved to Arques in the Pas-de-Calais.
The historic brewery had the particularity of having a micro-brewery where numerous trials and new recipes could be tested. This is how Goudale was born!
