Brasserie de Saint-Omer is one of France's most storied breweries, with a history stretching back to 1866. Founded in the northern French town of Saint-Omer, the brewery has grown from a regional producer into one of the country's most significant brewing operations. Over the decades it has established itself as a cornerstone of French beer culture, driven by the ambition of creating authentic French beers on a large scale. Its production facility was later relocated to the nearby town of Arques, where it now spans an impressive 10 hectares and is designed to produce up to 2.5 million hectoliters of beer per year, making it one of the largest brewing sites in France. The brewery boasts a remarkably diverse portfolio, encompassing over 30 active beer styles available in bottles, cans, and other formats. This breadth of production allows Brasserie de Saint-Omer to cater to a wide range of beer drinkers, from those seeking accessible everyday lagers to more characterful styles. The brewery is also well known in the industry as a contract brewing partner, producing a variety of private-label and retailer brands that are distributed across Europe. This behind-the-scenes role has made it a major force in the French and broader European beer market.
