Valduc (Brasserie Valduc-Thor) Alcohol-Free Beers

Brasserie Valduc-Thor is a cooperative brewery in Thorembais-Saint-Trond, in Perwez, Belgium, set up in 2016 and brewing since 2017, with more than 100 members, it says. The UK shops sell Valduc Angelo, an alcohol-free blond they say it makes, though its own website doesn’t list it.

Who are Valduc-Thor?

“Durant l’année 2016, les deux brasseurs ont décidé d’unir leurs compétences”, the brewery says: during 2016 the two brewers decided to join their skills. Antoine Limbourg and Peter Gerard had together developed the idea of a modern, sustainable brewery, and the first brew in the new installations was on 6 April 2017. Focus on Belgium called them “the two co-founding bio-engineers”; the regional tourist site Destination BW instead says it was created by “4 beer lovers”.

The Belgian register lists the company, Brasserie THOR, as set up on 19 July 2016, at Rue du Ponceau in Perwez, and as small, with 3.3 full-time staff in its 2025 accounts. French Wikipedia says it was founded in 2017, the year of its first brew.

A cooperative brewery

“Notre modèle économique repose sur une coopérative participative”, the brewery says, our business model rests on a participatory cooperative, with “Plus de 100 coopérateurs”, more than 100 members. The register lists it as a cooperative company, and we found no drinks group involved, so we list it as independent.

It also brews for others, so that several of its members can develop their own beer, and says its amber Rio was brewed elsewhere before production moved into the brewery itself; it doesn’t say where.

What Valduc-Thor brews

Under the Valduc name it brews Rio, an amber triple; La Petite Sœur, a white beer; Thor, a brown; Fée Steve, a blond; Fée Verte, an India session ale; and La Gourmandine, a fruit beer, with limited editions such as Thor Barrel Aged and Thortuga. La Petite Sœur and Rio won gold medals at the Best Local Beers 2018, according to French Wikipedia; we haven’t confirmed them.

Valduc Angelo, the alcohol-free beer

Valduc Angelo isn’t on the brewery’s own website: its home page, beer list and limited editions don’t mention it, and we couldn’t read its web shop. The Alcohol Free Co, Dry Drinker, Belgian Beer Heaven and Belgian Beer Factory all name Brasserie Valduc-Thor as the brewery, so that’s where the link comes from; nobody says who physically brews it. Belgian Beer Factory spells it “Angel’0”.

The shops disagree on its strength: The Alcohol Free Co, Dry Drinker and Belgian Beer Heaven say 0.4%; Belgian Beer Factory says 0%. We couldn’t find the brewery’s own figure. Either way it’s under 0.5%. The Belgian shops describe a top-fermented blond made from malt, yeast, sugar and hops, in 33cl bottles; The Alcohol Free Co calls it smooth, fruity and easy to drink. We found no calorie figures and no awards for it.
