In
1986, to celebrate the Belgian Year of Beer, André
Graux embarked upon the development of a high-fermentation traditional
beer.
As soon as 1987, the Fakir and Réserve
Marie de Hongrie beers are ready for commercialisation. Both beers,
further renamed Binchoise Blonde and Binchoise Brune,
will be complemented by honey-flavoured Bière des Ours
(litteraly Bears’ Beer), Flora and Cuvée Spéciale
Noël (Special Christmas Beer).
At the 1995 World Beer Championships in Chicago, the
brewery won a Platinum Medal with its Spéciale Noël
and the Gold Medal with its Bière des Ours. The brewery
is set for a fresh start and competes on a global stage.
