The Dubuisson Brewery (Brasserie Dubuisson Frères) is a Belgian family brewery founded in 1769 in Pipaix, province of Hainaut. They brew one of the strongest beers in Belgium, the Bush Ambrée at 12% ABV.[1]

History

Founded in 1769 by farmer Joseph Leroy, the brewery only sold its beer to the workers in the farm and to the inhabitants of the town of Pipaix where the brewery was installed. In 1931, the brothers Alfred and Amédée Dubuisson, descendants of Joseph Leroy, decided to abandon the farm and to concentrate on the production of beer. The beers were meant to be a mix of English and Belgian beers (due to the growing success of English beers at the time), so the name of the beer was English and the production method used both English and Belgian techniques.

The current brewery is still located at the same place and still owned by the Dubuisson family.

Beers

Dubuisson produce 4 different top fermented, filtered beers, all of which carry the brand name "Bush", which comes from a translation of the family name du Buisson.

All are available in 25cl bottles, and 33cl bottles for exportation, while the Bush de Noël is also sold in magnum (1.5l). The Bush 7% and Bush de Noël are also available in 20l and 30l barrels.

In addition to the original brewery in Pipaix (in the municipality of Leuze-en-Hainaut), the brewery has, since 2000, started two microbreweries, one in Louvain la Neuve and one in Mons.
