Producer Background
Brasserie Dupont was established in 1950 but has roots that go back to 1844, when it operated as a farm brewery in Tourpes, Belgium. The brewery came into its modern form under the Dupont family and has remained independent ever since. It is best known for its flagship Saison Dupont — often cited as the definitive example of the style — which is brewed using their signature yeast strain, open fermentation, and bottle conditioning. Dupont’s approach blends rustic, traditional brewing with unwavering attention to detail. Despite their global reputation, the brewery has remained humble, focused on quality over hype. Their portfolio includes earthy saisons, golden strong ales, and dry, yeast-forward dark beers. Brasserie Dupont has inspired generations of brewers around the world, particularly those interested in farmhouse brewing. For customers in Ireland, their beers offer an authentic taste of Belgian heritage and are a cornerstone of our craft beer online selection. Their continued relevance in a modern craft landscape is a testament to timeless brewing skill and integrity.
Style Overview
Brasserie Dupont specialises in traditional Belgian styles, particularly saisons and farmhouse ales. Their beers are typically dry, effervescent, and complex, with layered aromas of spice, citrus, and yeast-derived character. Saison Dupont remains the flagship, offering peppery, herbal notes with a lively carbonation and crisp finish. Other offerings include rich amber ales and golden strong ales, all brewed with a commitment to natural ingredients and traditional fermentation. These beers are best enjoyed slowly, allowing the flavours to evolve with every sip. Dupont’s range is a natural fit in our Belgian Beer collection and offers a contrast to hop-forward styles in our IPA & Pale Ale section or the clean precision of our German Beer.
