Brasserie d'Écaussinnes

Brasserie d’Ecaussinnes is rooted in a local brewing revival: after Ecaussinnes lost its brewing activity in 1970, beer returned to the village around the old Restaumont farm-château. The brewery’s modern identity grew from that restoration, later becoming Brasserie Scåssenes and building a range that connects Belgian brewing tradition with distinctly regional storytelling. Beer returns to Ecaussinnes The brewery’s story begins with a gap in local production. After the former local brewery was taken over by an industrial group in 1970, Ecaussinnes no longer had brewing activity on its territory. In 2000, two enthusiasts began restoring the Restaumont farm-château site, allowing beer production to resume in the commune. A name with local roots A new partnership in 2012 brought renewed work on the brewery’s production and image. In 2014, the name evolved toward Brasserie Scåssenes, using the Walloon name for Ecaussinnes and deliberately tying the brewery to its southern Belgian setting. The brewery continues to be identified with both Brasserie Scåssenes and Brasserie d’Ecaussinnes. The 1830 range In 2015, the brewery introduced its 1830 range: Le Roi, La Loi and La Liberté. The three beers are presented as a sequence of dark, blond and amber styles, with their names drawn from the Belgian national hymn. Together, the range gives the brewery’s contemporary portfolio a specifically Belgian historical frame without confusing the range’s launch date with the brewery’s founding. A village brewery revived from a historic local absence, then reshaped around Belgian tradition and Ecaussinnes identity.
