Anchored in the regional tradition since 1895, the Brasserie la Choulette is one of the oldest breweries in the region, with the Dhaussy family at its head since 1977. They started brewing beer at the end of the 19th century with a steam brewery. Several members of the family succeeded one another until its closure in 1951. It wasn't until 1977 that Alphonse and Alain relaunched the crazy bet of making top fermentation beers for laying down. Today, the influence of the brewery goes beyond the borders. You will tell us about it!

It was a crazy challenge that the heirs of the Motte-Cordonnier family set themselves, but after tasting their "René", we can say that it was met with flying colors! What are we talking about? Beer of course!

The Noyon Brewery of the 2 Capes is located between the Capes Blanc-Nez and Gris-Nez. In 2003, Christophe Noyon, an agricultural engineer, started the adventure within the family property of Tardinghen, the farm of Belle Dalle. The brewery has found its place in the old stables, while the store is housed in the old stable. The beers are mainly produced with the barley harvested on the domain. During your visit, you will be able to taste the whole range. New : the Warcove whisky, made in Côte d'Opale.

He is a talented and passionate brewer who produces a range of artisanal beers. The adventure began in 2007 in Auchy-les-Mines (62). The brewery then moved to Haisnes. The beers are all high fermentation and have a prolonged guard to respect the brewing tradition of the region. The annual production shall not exceed 900 hectolitres. Beers with original taste and tastier.

The imposing brewery located in the heart of downtown Saint-Omer is the industrial lung of the city. It has a unique history. Its CEO, André Pecqueur, is a passionate man. He bought his brewery from the Heineken group, which is now dedicated to the production of private label beers but also to more special beers. It is one of the biggest breweries in the region with more than 2 million hectolitres produced each year. To complete its range, the manager bought the Brasseurs de Gayant, which were based in Douai and moved them to Arques, a few kilometres from Saint-Omer.

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!

Christophe Cloet is a discreet, reserved brewer, lover of artisanal beer. This former engineer in the public works decided one day to launch his own business, in beer! A snorkeling, he knows his ranges in terms of brewing. After 5 years of amateur brewing, he chose Ostricourt to install his micro-brewery. It was in 2010. Flamine comes from the contraction of Flemish and Mine, a way of paying tribute to the northern region.

This brewery is emblematic of the brewing history of the region. It was originally created in Lille in 1863 by Louis Boucquey. In 1921, it merged with two other local breweries and took the name of the Pelican, a bird to the large beak capable of swallowing large quantities of beer. The Pelforth beer has thus seen the day, contraction between "pelican" and "strong" spelled in English. The brewery moved to Mons-en-Baroeul in 1966 before being bought by the French brewery in 1986 and then integrated into the Heineken Group in 1993. 
It is one of the largest production units in the Dutch group in France with a capacity greater than 2,5 million hectolitres annually. Most of the manufacturing concerns the famous green bottle, but Pelforth beers are still loads in Mons, testifying to this regional heritage.

What a wonderful renovation! This brewery was created on the site of the ancient abbey Saint-André, located in the heart of the town of Cateau-Cambrésis. The writings attest to the existence of a brewery in 1775. Brewery activity ends in 1926. It was in 2004 that the activity resumed thanks to the passion and courage of Jean-Luc State known in the profession as a distributor of French and foreign special beers. The site is still under renovation. The brewery is the lung of the establishment. A large restaurant (regional specialities) surrounds the production unit. The manufacturing process (by gravity) has been preserved. It is an exceptional place to découvir a part of brewing history and taste original and innovative beers. The brand name of the brewery is the Vivat under different flavours!

It is a monument to the regional brewery. Not for the volumes produced but for the historical side of the installations. The brewery has almost 200 years of history and has changed ownership very frequently in recent years. Today, it was Olivier Forest who presided over the destiny of the old lady. The facilities have evolved very little and offer a real show to visitors. The brewery is nestled in the Avesnois (recommended GPS) but the detour really worth a look. Olivier Forest is a renowned brewer. He has worked in various breweries in the region and in Belgium. His passion is intact over time that breaststroke…

It is one of the most emblematic breweries in the region. Its flagship product, Trois-Monts was launched in 1985. It takes its name from the hills surrounding the village where it is produced: Mount Kassel, Récollets mount and cats mount. This family brewery has gone through all the hardships of history. She has been a member of the Ricour family since 1920. It was then transferred to the Dehaene family. Proud of its traditions, the brewery has a real success in the region, France, and increasingly abroad. Today it continues its development while preserving its soul and its character of French Flemish beer. The range is certainly limited but of high quality. Beers for every amateur!

The brewery was created in 2014. It is installed in the renovated dependencies of a former farm. The brewer's will is to produce authentic and traditional beers in the heart of this region to the rich brewing past. Thibaut Delamaide, after 10 years in National Education, is embarking on adventure. His biochemist training helps him control manufacturing processes. The name of the brewery refers to the megalithic site of the 7 Bonnettes.

This is an association of beer enthusiasts who love to share this divine drink. For 30 years, this group of amateurs has been living the site through their newsletters, their guild, their visits, their fairs, their fairs, their information about the foam, their conferences… More than 500 members (about two thirds of them in the Nord-Pas de Calais) have already been conquered. Here, the members are former maltsters, former brewers, beer historians or simple amateur brewers. But they all love beer. The association would like to create a regional beer museum to continue to highlight collection pieces recovered during brewing sites.

Jean-René Lesage is the creator of the Pas-de-Calais micro-brewery. He is above all a man of passion. Trained in biochemistry, he worked a time for the brewery of Saint-Omer. After his dismissal, he followed a training in Lille (ISA) before setting up a company to advise existing breweries. He then decides to start brewing his own beers in a farm in this beautiful valley. This is how the «Sournoise» emerged. The name is voluntarily "funny" as he himself says this good living brewer.

At the beginning of the 20th century, there were one or even several breweries in each district of Dunkirk. The city is slowly reconnecting with its brewing past thanks to young enthusiasts like Julien Cappelaere. He started brewing his beers to have fun in 2016 with a kit in his kitchen, and this is gradually becoming his business. He's even starting to make a living from it. He enjoys very favourable word of mouth. And everything went very fast. In March 2018, he founded his company and in July 2018, he opened his small workshop in the heart of Malo-les-Bains. It is there that you can taste and buy your beer twice a week where he makes it with the choice of Hoppy Bear (6°) well hopped, Golden Bear with a round and malty flavour (6°) and Big Bear (a triple to 9°). During the year, he also brews new recipes depending on the season and his mood. And he is a bit of a victim of his success: his beers are already on the menu of several restaurants and specialized shops. As a beer enthusiast, he deplored that the industry standardizes the taste of beer, microbreweries like him make (re)discover all their originality of taste to amateurs.
