Brasserie La Choulette

Jules Dhaussy (1865-1935) farmer in Iwuy traces the first furrow. In 1895 he acquired a steam brewery. Moreover, the brewing world is not completely unknown to him: he has already worked as a worker at the brewery Derieux. With barley grown on the farm, the brewer makes low-alcohol blond beers and sells them to farm workers. The brewery provides additional income while promoting the activities of the farm. By dint of work, the recognition arrives: the farm brewery Dhaussy is listed in 1902 in the directory of the brewers.
With an annual production of 8,000 hl, the influence of the brewery is not limited to the territory of Valenciennes. On the contrary, the beers brewed in the village of Hordain are distributed throughout the national territory and even beyond. They are exported to Great Britain, Italy and the United States.
The brewery now employs eleven people, four of whom make beer. As for the others, they are working on their live distribution in the North region.
