In the city of Roeulx, young religious individuals founded the Abbey of Saint-Feuillien in 1125. For seven centuries, the abbey prospered as a place of prayer and study, but also as an economic, administrative, and cultural center, until its destruction in 1796. In 1950, the Brasserie St Feuillien, founded in 1873, resumed the production of beers from the extinct abbey of the same name. St Feuillien Blonde is a light ale beer, with an intense golden color and a smooth, foamy head. Unmistakable hop aroma and a citrus note due to the spices used in its brewing. Intense bitter and malt flavor, however, the final effect is dry and highlights the hop touch.
