Brasserie Goudale is an independent, family-owned French brewery founded in 1919 in Douai, in the north of France. With over a century of brewing history, the brewery has built a strong reputation by combining traditional craftsmanship with modern innovation. Over the years, the brewery relocated and now operates an ultramodern facility in Arques, where state-of-the-art equipment supports its time-honoured brewing methods. The name Goudale itself derives from the medieval term for 'good ale', a fitting tribute to the brewery's dedication to quality beer. Brasserie Goudale's portfolio centres around traditional French specialty beers, with a particular focus on blond ales and amber styles. The flagship beer, La Goudale, is a blond ale brewed at 7.2% ABV, characterised by its amber colour, creamy white head, and rich malt character. The brewery also produces La Goudale Grand Cru, a more refined expression of their brewing expertise, showcasing the depth and complexity that defines their house style. Throughout its range, Brasserie Goudale emphasises quality ingredients and traditional fermentation techniques. Today, Brasserie Goudale welcomes visitors to its impressive modern facility in Arques, where guided brewery tours offer an immersive look into the world of professional beer production. The brewery continues to stand as one of the notable independent breweries in northern France, proud of its century-long heritage and commitment to crafting quality specialty beers.
