Brasserie des Carrières

The project of the "Brasserie des Carrières" is born from the passion of two friends for local products, especially beer, a national specialty that is internationally recognized. In June 2000, after having finished high school they desire to get to know the Belgian beer specialties better, Julien Slabbinck and Francois Amorison decide to take a motorcycle trip with the objective to visit the main Walloon breweries. 10 years later, after a career in the brewing industry for Julien and the timber industry for Francois, the two companions decide to start their own brewery in Basècles. The objective is focused on the production of handmade local beer, brewed with natural regional products. The barley is grown by two farmers on the land of the village, 1 km from the brewery and is then converted into malt in the malting of the castle located 7 km from Basècles. Now search for a name for this beer! After many searches in the Basecloise literature on the marble past Diôle appeared as a good compromise because, as the tool to pull the tails to polish marble was erased from the memories of most people throughout time, despite this, the term " Diôle " 'is still well and truly present in the local dialect and moreover fell in different sauces! The particle 'Di' will refer to the two friends of this wonderful story. Show Less
