The Brasserie du Bocq is a Belgian family brewery founded in 1858 by Martin Belot. It is based in the valley of the small river Bocq in Purnode (near Yvoir).
History
In the beginning, the brewery was just used in the winter, when the workers in the farm had less to do. After the
Marbaix-la-Tour and subsequently added two beers to its range of products: Saison Régal and Régal Christmas. The brewery in Marbaix-la-Tour was closed in 1983 in order to restructure the company.[1] Until 2003 the Belot family managed the brewery,[2] but the number of family shareholders in the sixth generation had become too numerous. They then entrusted Francis Deraedt with the management of the company.[3]
