Brewery Overview
Brasserie St-Feuillien was founded 150 years ago, in 1873 by Stéphanie Friart, great-grand-aunt of the current owners, Benoît and Dominique Friart. Together with Ann Friart, they are the fourth and fifth generations to run the business.
The brewery continues to produce a wide range of beers, including the beers of the Abbaye St-Feuillien, the "Signature" products such as the famous Grand Cru and the Saison, without forgetting the Grisette, thus proving its desire to be rooted in the history of its region, to perpetuate the tradition of the land and to ensure its influence beyond the borders.
Member of the “Belgian Family Brewers” association
This non-profit association currently has 21 members and aims to promote historical and independent family-owned breweries, which, because of their strong identity and authenticity, constitute a real added value to the Belgian brewing world. This a noble goal, considering that in Belgian brewing families, the secrets of the traditional craft of beer brewing have been passed down for centuries from generation to generation.
That’s why authentic Belgian beers deserve a label to distinguish them from other beers. For the consumer, the label belonging to the Belgian Family Brewers association guarantees their origin and their artisanal production method.

Description
This beer has a generous head – compact and firm. Its slightly brown color is the result of the roasted barley. It has a dark ruby brown color and a very intense aroma. The aromatic herbs and spices used greatly enhance its delicious smell. This beer is full-bodied with a smoothness that is the result of the synergy of caramelized malts, carefully controlled fermentation and long cold storage. St-Feuillien Cuvée de Noël has a very subtle bitterness that is the dominant flavor in this harmonious ale that strikes a perfect balance between all the different ingredients.
