Brasserie de Saint-Omer

The Brasserie de Saint-Omer produces about 2 million hectolitres of beer a year, so it is the first independent brewery in France.

That year, it was bought by the Saint-Arnould group and adopted the name Brasserie de Saint-Omer.

The Facon breweries, in Pont-de-Briques and in Semeuse, Lille, merged with Saint-Omer in 1995.

The new company resulting from that merger was named GSA Brasseries.

The Brasserie de Saint-Omer again became an independent brewery and returned to the Pecqueur family's fold.
