Brasserie les 3 Fourquets
In the Belgian Ardennes, Brasserie les 3 Fourquets began with a modestly local purpose: supplying malted drinks in kegs to the neighboring tavern. Its story then widened through the Lupulus beer, a family-led project rooted in Belgian brewing tradition and shaped at the brewery in Courtil, Gouvy. The name belongs to a formative chapter in a brewery now known as Brasserie Lupulus. From tavern supply to regional brewery The brewery was established in 2003 in Courtil, in the municipality of Gouvy, Province of Luxembourg. Its first role was practical and close to home—providing kegged malt beverages for the nearby bistro. Four years later, the brewery moved toward a beer intended for wider regional sale, marking the beginning of its best-known brewing identity. The Lupulus turning point In 2007, Pierre Gobron and his sons Julien and Tim, working with their team, created Lupulus. The beer was prepared for both Champagne-style bottles and kegs, with the aim of commercializing it in the region. The brewery describes its approach as faithful to Belgian brewing traditions while allowing distinctive aromatic and flavour accents. A name that changed, a place that remained In 2016, Brasserie les 3 Fourquets became Brasserie Lupulus. The original brewery site remained in the village of Courtil, where the modern brand continues to present its beers as local products from Gouvy and as part of a family brewing enterprise.
