Brasserie Caulier

What Brasserie Caulier does

Brasserie Caulier is an independent, family-owned Belgian brewery founded in 1996 and headquartered in Péruwelz, Belgium, operating out of a converted former tannery purchased by the family in 1980. The company's roots extend back to 1933, when Charles Caulier began as a beer merchant, and the business has now passed into its fourth generation, with Vincent Caulier serving as CEO alongside Laurent and Bertrand Caulier. The core product is live (unpasteurized), 100% natural Belgian beer brewed with traditional top-fermentation methods, anchored on three brands — Bon Secours (the original 1990s lager), Paix Dieu, and Stuut (both launched in 2012) — each with its own website and consumer identity.

Beyond brewing, Brasserie Caulier operates a vertically integrated hospitality and direct-to-consumer stack: a webshop (brasseriecaulier.store) delivering to Belgium and France, an on-site physical shop, B2B/horeca sales routed through a works council catalog, brewery tours and Pico Brewery workshops booked via FareHarbor, an on-site guesthouse booked via Amenitiz, Restaurant L'Atlas, and event ticketing via Billetweb. Distribution is therefore multi-channel and asset-light on the wholesale side, while capital-intensive on production following a multi-year program (2018-2022) to triple capacity through a second brewhouse, extended fermentation and hot rooms, and a modernized bottling line. The company has a formal ESG strategy since 2021 with quantified targets on regenerative malt, returnable bottles, and water use, supported by 723 photovoltaic panels and full draff valorization.

The brewery employs approximately 90 people across brewing, bottling, logistics, sales, marketing, finance, HR, and maintenance, and is recognized through a wave of medals at international beer competitions in March 2025. The customer base is fragmented across general consumers (webshop and on-site), professional horeca buyers (cafes, restaurants, retailers), and experience seekers/tourists, with no named anchor accounts disclosed. Operationally, the company is a mid-sized Belgian craft brewery scaling through capacity expansion, hospitality diversification, and DTC channel build-out rather than through M&A or external funding.
