Brasserie du Bocq, set up in 1858 by Martin BELOT, a farmer in Purnode, began when Martin started brewing beer at his farm. At the very beginning, the beer was only brewed in the winter, when there was no work for his farm workers in the fields.
The brewery produced a very wide range of products, going from table beers to strong beers, passing through a large mix of densities, colours bitterness and tastes.
Still 100% family owned, Brasserie du Bocq remains one of the last traditional Belgian breweries.
Located in the heart of the Condroz, this dynamic company still uses the traditional manufacturing process of top-fermentation beers with secondary fermentation in the bottle.
Today the sixth generation of the Belot family is leading the destinies of Brasserie du Bocq and looks forward to the future with confidence. Nothing has changed in Purnode, at least in the art of brewing, even if the company has widely extended it’s local activities
You can be sure that this story will last for many years and that the beers of Brasserie du Bocq will continue to animate, for ever and ever, this charming little village of Pernode.
