Taste profile
Pilsen malt and Saaz hops make it a saison-style beer that will surprise even the most discerning beer enthusiasts.

With house yeast and hops from French and Belgian Flanders. The color is cloudy straw yellow, the foam is immaculate white. And this famous fermentative and rustic nose, with a pronounced aromatic intensity.
A nose that takes you to the green, to the cereal fields, to the bags of grain, among the herbs and flowers, to the ferments, to the spices, to the fruits of the orchard. The bubbles are integrated into the roundness, and the more they unfold, the drier and more refreshing it is, with a slight astringency on the finish, like green grapes. The bitterness, melted in the malts at the beginning, becomes long and pronounced in the aftertaste, with an interminable length.
This beer has it all: roundness, sparkle, chew, balance, green bitterness, dryness, all at an unsuspected 0 degree!
This non-alcoholic blond beer has all the attributes of a strong Saison, with complexity and, at the same time, astonishing simplicity.

Who is this Baron?
If the owner of the paddle mill at the bottom of the rocks was the Count of Fourmestraulx, the miller François Dazin, through his disdainful character, inherited the nickname of marquis. It was not without humor that the owner of the neighboring estaminet called his establishment “Au Baron”. The Count, the Marquis and the Baron formed the new trinity of Fond des Rocs. Dazin left it to Bonaparte’s former soldiers to call his son “Napoleon”. We were in the midst of restoration during the Second Empire!
François DAZIN bought the mill from Count Anthime de FOURMESTRAULX in 1853.
In 1861, he sold his business to his son Désiré who built marble workshops next to the flour mill, then stopped grinding and, like Monsieur le Comte, launched himself into marble. After 76 years of service, the old wooden wheel stopped turning to grind the villagers' flour. It will provide daily bread for 71 more years to dozens of families of marble workers and polishers.

A family story
When the "Au Baron" café still provided water for the mosaic workers, cutters and marble polishers, the Bailleux family, brewers from father to son and current operators of the Au Baron brewery are still on the other side of the border, but they are already at work on the brewing vats, and more particularly that of the Cavenaile brewery in Dour. Indeed, Désiré Bailleux, a renowned master brewer, has excelled in his art there since 1879. His grandson Roger joined the company after studying fermentation at the Meurice Institute in Brussels. In the brewer's house located in the courtyard of the brewery, his 2 children, Alain and Martine, were born.

Roger will suffer the wrath of brewing industrialization and will see the closure of the brewery. He will then leave with his wife and children for the Belgian Congo to join the Brasserie du Katanga. Following the colony's declaration of independence, he joined the Barré brewery in Valenciennes. Talented and carried away by the frenetic development of the sector, he found himself factory director at Kanterbraü in Nantes then Sochaux. He will be forced to dismantle these two factories in the name of concentrating production tools. Roger then finds himself recently retired and moves permanently into his country house in Gussignies, nostalgic for the authentic era of the farm-breweries of yesteryear.

It was in 1973 that the adventure of the “Au Baron” brewery began. Alain Bailleux then acquired the last bistro in the village just opposite his parents' house. There he met Danielle who would become his wife. Together, they launched into the restaurant business. Faced with success, they are building a restaurant where succulent grilled meats will be prepared over a wood fire in an old brewery vat, recovered by Roger from Kanterbraü. But the adventure doesn't stop there...

Later, Alain and his father Roger set themselves a challenge: to create a craft brewery, with beers that smell good of cereals and yeast, like those that Roger brewed at the start of his career.

This was accomplished on June 8, 1989 when Gussignies inaugurated the village brewery with Saint-Médard, a beer inspired by the farm breweries of yesteryear. The following spring, while the undergrowth is adorned with yellow flowers, the daffodil vintage comes out of the vats.
For several years, Florence and Xavier have taken over the reins of the family business and continue to make the Baron prosper by developing the restaurant and the brewery respectively and by annexing a local shop where you can buy beers and products from local producers.
