Welcome to this new edition of the Brasserie de Silly journal!

The year 2025 marks a historic turning point for our family business. We are delighted to share with you a series of exciting events, full of hope and momentum for the future.

Major construction is underway, including the building of a brand-new automated brewhouse, representing several million euros in investment. This ambitious modernization will allow us to strengthen our brewing expertise while meeting the demands of tomorrow.

We are also launching a new beer: Silly Saison Village Bio. It embodies our roots, our local heritage, and our commitment to more sustainable production. This beer will gradually become the ambassador of Brasserie de Silly.

And of course, in September this year, we are celebrating the 175th anniversary of the Brewery, founded in 1850. A unique opportunity to celebrate a living legacy, passed down from generation to generation and constantly renewed.

In a complex economic context, notably marked by a trade war with the United States that is impacting the brewing sector, we have chosen boldness over caution, investment over waiting.

In 2026, a second phase of renovation will begin to transform our historic farm into a warm and welcoming space where visitors and customers can discover the soul of our brewery—where it all began.

It is with you—our teams, our customers, our partners—that we are writing this new chapter of our story. Thank you for your loyalty, your commitment, and your trust.
