Brasserie de Brunehaut is the trade name for Brunehaut Brewery,〔(Beer Me! — Brasserie De Brunehaut — Brunehaut, Hainaut, Belgium ). Beerme.com.〕 located in Rongy-Brunehaut (Hainaut), Wallonia, 80 km south/southwest of Brussels, Belgium, near the French border. ==History (aka Patrimoine)== The brewery's history dates directly to 1096 in Tournai, and a time of severe medieval famine, locally remembered as part of "the great plague".〔http://www.cathedraledetournai.be/content.php?langue=english&cle_menus=1143808074〕 Beer was already known as a safe alternative to impure local water supplies〔(Mons, capitale européenne de la culture en 2015 ). Visithainaut.be.〕 and the local community desperately needed help to avoid starvation. To promote public health, and compensate for minimal humanitarian support from far-away Rome, Benedictine Bishop Radbod included brewing permissions in the charter to re-establish Abbaye de Saint-Martin.〔(The Restoration of the Monastery of Saint Martin of Tournai - Herman (of Tournai) - Google Books ). Books.google.com.〕 Brewing thrived at Abbaye de Saint-Martin, through multiple wars and rebellions without significant interruption until 1793 when, during the French revolution, most abbey structures, including the church sanctuary and brewery were destroyed. Only the mid-18th century Abbot palace, parts of the 14th century Gothic cloister and a Romanesque, 13th century crypt survived. Fortunately, many important abbey documents, including Saint-Martin's "secret" brewing recipes, were successfully hidden from revolutionary plunder. In 1890, during Belgium's post-Industrial Revolution prosperity, these essential recipes permitted resumption of Abbaye de Saint-Martin brewing by Brasserie de Bruenhaut. More than forty individual Brunehaut beers were brewed during the next century and, in 1990, output capacity doubled, via new construction of a purpose-built fermentation house,〔(IMG_8262wtmk | Flickr - Photo Sharing! ).

Abbaye de Saint-Martin remains one of 18x Belgian beers to still enjoy official "Certified Belgian Abbaye Beer" status.〔 Abdijbier - Wikipedia. Nl.wikipedia.org (2013-10-23).〕 ''Note:'' Tournai is known in Dutch as ''Doornik'' and in Latin as ''Tornacum''. The city sits at the crossroads of ancient Roman trading highways. Its Belgian-French-speaking citizens use a distinctive ''Picard'' dialect. Tournai's Hôtel de Ville serves citizens from the original Abbot palace, which was re-constructed following extensive WWII damage.
