BRASSERIE DES FAGNES

What BRASSERIE DES FAGNES does

Brasserie des Fagnes is a Belgian craft brewery and integrated hospitality destination operating from a single facility in Mariembourg (Couvin), Wallonia. The company traces its brewing heritage to the 1858 Degauquier brewery and produces a portfolio of specialty beers across the Fagnes core lineup (Blonde 7.5%, Triple 9%, Brune 7.5%, Griottes 4.8%, Cuvée Constant 7.5%), the WAW sub-brand (Jungle, Mystery), Chevetogne (6.2%), and special brews including alcohol-free Cuvée Junior (0.5%) and Quatre céréales (8.5%). Its core technological feature is a direct-tap pipe system connecting 1000-liter brewing vats to bar taps, serving freshly brewed beer at an ideal 3°C with preserved aromas—a design that positioned the brewery as the first in brewing history conceived specifically to welcome visitors and allow them to freely observe production.

The business operates a diversified revenue model across four streams: branded beer sales (bottles in 33cl, 75cl, magnum 1.5L, Jéroboam 3L, and keg formats), restaurant and catering services (brasserie-style dining for up to 350 indoor guests prepared by Chef Elvis Hancart), brewery tours and tasting experiences (free self-guided visits, €9.50 guided tours with tasting, fixed €95 group rates), and event venue rental (seminar rooms for 6–110 persons plus reception facilities for up to 350). Go-to-market is primarily direct-to-consumer through the on-site experience, supplemented by online sales through channel partner Belspirits for distant customers. Distribution remains domestic, serving the Wallonia tourism market, with regional tourism partnerships (Viroinval, Eau d'Heure lakes, Wallonia Belgium Tourism, Beerparadise.be) driving awareness.

The company is part of the Fagnes Group, structured under Fagnes Beers SRL (Belgian SRL) with related entities Comptoir des Fagnes S.A. and Brasserie des Fagnes S.A. Leadership comprises General Director Frédéric Adant and Commercial Director Régis Delcourt. Customer segments include tourists and day-trippers as primary, corporate groups and event planners, and beer enthusiasts. Additional amenities such as a certified outdoor playground, EV charging stations, and accessible facilities position the venue as a family-friendly regional destination rather than a production-scale brewery competing on distribution.
