Montignies-sur-Roc Brewery: The Story of Belgium's First Microbrewery

Since 1979, the Montignies-sur-Roc brewery has been a cornerstone of Belgian craft beer. In its early days, it became the first company to receive a special exemption to produce less than 10,000 hectoliters of beer per year. With no specific production infrastructure, Jean-Pierre Eloir designed the necessary equipment himself, using repurposed materials such as washing machines. Thus, the first microbrewery in Belgium was born.

A Family Business Thriving

In 1991, Nathalie Eloir took over the brewery, followed by her partner Georges Levecq in 1995. Today, the brewery is a major player in the craft beer world, distributed not only in Belgium but also in France, Italy, Sweden, Denmark, the United States, and Asia. The brewery places a strong emphasis on the quality of its products: Belgian hops, natural malts, yeast, spices, and water sourced directly from a well in a rocky underground. No artificial flavors, no taste enhancers, and no added sugar.
