Brasserie 3F

Brasserie 3F is a Walloon brewery built from a shared passion and a distinctly local sense of place. Rémy d’Aubreby and Pierre Dessy began shaping the project in 2013, then established it in Frameries, where the site’s former mining landscape and municipal water supply helped inspire the name “3F.” Its Dominicains range now revisits Belgian Dubbel, Tripel and Quadrupel traditions in a contemporary brewery setting. A partnership formed around beer The brewery’s story begins in 2013, when Rémy d’Aubreby and Pierre Dessy decided to create a brewery together. D’Aubreby came from a Franco-Belgian brewing family with four generations of experience, while Dessy had already brewed as an amateur and won the 2014 Brouwland Benelux competition. Their complementary backgrounds gave Brasserie 3F both inherited brewing knowledge and an experimental, hands-on beginning. Frameries and the meaning of 3F In 2014, the partners searched for financing and a site in Frameries, opposite SPARKOH!. Because the brewery stands on former mining ground, it uses treated municipal water rather than groundwater, whose extraction is complicated by the fragility of the soil. That practical detail became part of the brewery’s identity: the name 3F refers to an anecdote involving the fountains of Mons. From first brews to Dominicains Construction finished in 2016, when the brewery produced its first brews. The partners spent two further years refining their recipes, and in 2018 the beers were finalized under the Dominicains signature. The range frames Belgian Dubbel, Tripel and Quadrupel traditions through beers including a rare blonde Wit Dubbel, a filtered golden Tripel and a full-bodied Quadrupel. A Frameries brewery that links Belgian strength-beer traditions to a locally rooted, modern production story.
