Behind the Belgian brasserie St. Feuillien is a power woman like the one in the book: Stéphanie Friart. She founded the brewery in 1873 and brewed such good beer that she won numerous awards. Today the brewery is still in the hands of the Friart family, who turn heads not only in Belgium with their excellent beers such as the Grisette Blond .
Family ties
Stéphanie Friart founded the brewery in Le Roeulx in 1873. She brewed light, wholesome beers that were extremely successful. Her nephew Benoît Friart continued her success after taking over the brewery from her in 1920. He bought another brewery in addition to Stéphanie's and ran both breweries until the Second World War. After the war, his son took over the St. Feuillien brewery. The Brasserie St. Feuillien is still in family hands today. The Friarts put all their heart and soul into their beer and ensure that the brewery is always at the cutting edge of technology. The facility has already been renovated and modernized several times. The focus in all of this is always on the quality of the beer. The Friarts attach great importance to honoring their historical roots and upholding local traditions. Old recipes are cherished and maintained, but in addition to the classics, the brewery enthusiastically develops new, creative beers. Over the last ten years in particular, work has been done to make the processes and procedures in the brewery more efficient and sustainable.
