Brasserie De Silly
In Silly, a Belgian village 40 km southwest of Brussels, Marcelin Hypolite Mynbrughen started a brewery in a large Hainaut farm in 1850. During the First World War, Marcelin's grandson, Adelin jr, developed a new beer with the help of English soldiers passing through Silly.
Since 1947, the focus has been on brewing top-fermentation beers such as Grisette, Saison and Scotch.
In 1950 they launched a lager, intended for the brewery's cafes.
In 1975, the Brasserie Tennstedt Decroes in Enghien was taken over, and the Double Enghien, based on a dark high-fermentation beer, joined the range.
Brasserie de Silly is currently owned by the 6th generation of the family. Cousins Lionel and Bertrand Van der Haegen lead the company.
