Brasserie d'Oleye

Brasserie d'Oleye belongs to the small, local-minded chapter of Belgian brewing: a brewery rooted in Oleye, a village of Waremme in Liège province. Its surviving record is modest but clear. By around 2005, the brewery was established on Rue d'Elmette and producing roughly ten beers, while later beer listings preserve the names Blonde d'Oleye and Brune d'Oleye as its distinctive local brews. A brewery anchored in Oleye The brewery took its name from the village where it operated. A local history account places Brasserie d'Oleye at number 39 Rue d'Elmette, in Oleye, around 2005, and records a range of approximately ten beers. BeerAdvocate independently lists the same address and marks the brewery as closed, with its beers retired. Local names, local identity The village history of Oleye identifies two eponymous beers associated with the brewery: La Blonde d'Oleye and La Brune d'Oleye. Their names express a distinctly regional identity, tying the beers directly to the Hesbaye village rather than to an abbey, dynasty or large brewing group. The available sources do not establish a verified launch date for either beer. A compact Waremme brewery remembered through the village name it carried into a small, locally rooted beer range.
