Malthouse with history:
In 2018, the descendants of the last family manager of the Motte-Cordonnier Brewery breathed new life into the company. The brewery has a 370-year history, closely linked to Armentières. In the mid-20th century it was the third largest French beer brewer.
In the 1970s the brewery was bought by Stella Artois and in 1982 the beer brand disappeared from the market. The brewery closed its doors in 1993... until a quarter of a century later, 15 (!) descendants of Bernard Motte picked up the broken thread of the family tradition.
