Tourpes
About this Place
Tourpes is a village in Hainaut, part of the municipality of Leuze-en-Hainaut. Its place in the Museum rests primarily on its association with Brasserie Dupont, one of Belgium's best-known farmhouse breweries.
The brewery was established here in 1844 as a farm brewery and remains closely connected with the agricultural traditions of the region. Today, Brasserie Dupont is particularly associated with Saison Dupont, widely regarded as one of the defining examples of the saison style.
Tourpes represents an important strand of Belgian brewing history: the survival and modern interpretation of farmhouse brewing traditions in Hainaut.
