Our brewery
The 3F brewery is the result of the passion of Rémy d’Aubreby and Pierre Dessy, who, in 2013, decided to create their own brewery around their shared love for beer.
Europe and Wallonia are committed to your region.
The brewery expansion is co-financed by the EUROPEAN UNION under the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development. (FEADER)
Discover our history
In 2013, Rémy d’Aubreby and Pierre Dessy met during a conversation about their shared passion for beer and began considering the creation of their own brewery.
Rémy, from a Franco-Belgian family of brewers for four generations, decided to make this project a reality with Pierre. Rémy's family brewery had been sold in 2010, but his passion for beer, nurtured since childhood, was strengthened by the experience of his father, Patrick.
Pierre, a passionate fan like his grandmother Geneviève, is also influenced by his uncle Alain Dessy, brewery engineer . As soon as he finished his studies, he brewed his first amateur beer in his garage and won the Brouwland Benelux competition in 2014..
In 2014, the project took shape with the search for funding and land in Frameries, across the SPARKOH!. The site, located on former mining grounds, uses water from the city network rather than groundwater due to the fragility of the soil.
This detail inspired the name of the brewery : 3F, referring to an anecdote about the three actives fountains of Mons.
Construction was completed in 2016, with the first batches brewed. After two years of refinement, the recipes were finalised in 2018 under the name « Dominicains »
