Brasserie Cazeau has a history that mirrors many of Belgium’s historic breweries. Cazeau’s story starts back in 1753 with the brewery based in the city of Tournai. It is passed through generations until the time of the First World War when the brewery equipment was seized to make munitions.
Starting up again after the war, operations returned to the brewery in 1926 until production was ceased in 1969. The popularisation of lagers and pilsners at this time forced many smaller Belgian breweries into decline.
In 2004, two family members decided to resurrect the brewery in Tournai and it is now the sole brewery in that city. Tournay beers aren’t exactly commonplace in the greater Belgian beer market, but sit in the town square of Tournai on a sunny afternoon and this label is seen everywhere.
This beer is the Tournay Blonde, and was the first beer brewed in the new brewery on 1 May 2004.
The beer is made from 100% barley malt (no Belgian candi sugar!) and a subtle blend of 4 American hops. The Belgian yeast is obvious, and there is a chalkiness to the malt body. It’s not a bad thing as it makes the beer lovely and dry. Good carbonation and a level of hop bitterness add to the refreshing nature of this beer that finishes with a light spicy and citrus aftertaste.
