About Familie Dupont

Familie Dupont is a Belgian farmhouse brewery in Wallonia, regarded as one of the most influential producers of saison beer in the world. The beers are brewed with the brewery's own distinctive yeast strain, which gives the dry, spicy and fruity profile that defines the saison style itself. Because Dupont is considered by many beer connoisseurs to be the very reference point for how a classic saison should taste, the brewery is a natural starting point for anyone wanting to understand the style at its source rather than through countless modern interpretations.

History & Background

Familie Dupont's roots go back to the early 1900s, when the farmhouse brewery was established as part of a larger agricultural estate in Wallonia - an operating model historically common for saison brewing, where the beer was originally made for farmhands during the summer. The brewery has been run by the same family across several generations, and this continuity has been key to preserving the yeast strain and methods that define Dupont's style today. As saison has become a global style, brewed by breweries worldwide, Familie Dupont has remained the fixed point other producers measure themselves against.
