Funny story about the Brasserie du Val de Sambre. They are a small brewery based in the town of Thuin, and were producing beer for quite a while. Local consumption mostly.
Then, they were contacted by a company from Charleroi. Because they wanted to grow, they agreed to brew for them. Sadly, it was a bit of a scam, the brewery was never paid despite delivering and increasing production. The company went bankrupt and, never able to recover from it, the brewery eventually went also bankrupt this year.
That did not improve the already low reputation of the city for the towns of the province.

I love when you can tell the quality of a beer in a store by the amount of dust on it, lol
Like damn, not even the store owners give a shit about this brand
