Dupont

The Rimaux-De Ridder farm-brewery was established in 1844 in Tourpes, Belgium. The farm was popularly known as Moinette owing to its having been formerly the property of the Benedictine abbey of Gembloux. In1920 Louis Dupont, an agricultural engineer, was wooed to stay in Belgium by his father who bought him a petite ferme avec brasserie. The farm continues to this day to produce artisanal cheeses and, of course, beers.

In 1990 the fourth-generation Dupont made its entry into the brewery in the person of Olivier DeDeycker, a brewing engineer who took over the operation when his uncle, Marc Rosier, retired in 2002. In addition to being the protectors of the rare Saison style, Dupont is a pioneer in organic beers. In 2011 our organic selection will grow to four beers: Avril, Foret, Foret Blanche (new), and Bière de Miel. We’ll soon introduce Posca Rustica (sold in Belgium as Cervesia), Chateau de Beloeil, Monk’s Stout, and Redor Pils bringing the total Dupont lineup to a magnificent twelve beers.
