Dubuisson

Dubuisson has been brewing continuously since 1769—before Belgium was a country and longer than the Trappist breweries. Dubuisson is a shining example of the civic brewer and proud protector of the tradition. Hugues Dubuisson is the eighth-generation family member to direct the business. Under his stewardship, ably assisted by Mark LeMay, the brewery is thriving. It has doubled in size in the last decade. In addition to the classic Scaldis, Belgium’s strongest beer, their portfolio now includes Cuvee des Trolls, the Prestige bottlings, Scaldis Refermentee and Triple, Peche Mel, and Scaldis Noël and Premium. Dubuisson is in the hamlet of Pipaix, just outside of Tournai and in the heart of French-speaking Wallonia. The province where Scaldis is brewed is called Hainaut. The word means “land of groves” and indeed it is the richest agricultural province in Belgium.
