Brasserie De La Senne is actually credited with doubling Brussels, Belgium’s brewery count — from 1 (Cantillon) to 2. The duo that started brewery in 2006, outgrew the tiny brewhouse and has been contracting at larger breweries around Belgium ever since. Finally, De La Senne opened it’s doors at the end of 2010. In April of this year, Allagash Brewing collaborated with La Senne abroad in Belgium. It is finally being imported by Shelton Brothers, and is showing up stateside.
