Brasserie-malterie Hazard Paul

THE ABANDONED BREWERY IN FRANCE

‘Brasserie-malterie Hazard Paul’ is a brewery and malt house in Avesnes sur Helpe, France. The company was founded in the late 19th century by Paul Hazard. 

In 1927 the brewery produced between 6 and 12.000 hectoliters of beer a year. In 1946 the production was about 15.000 hectoliters of high fermentation beer. Later the company was renamed Hazard & Co. until the production stopped in 1960. At that time the brewery was converted into liquor shop and in 1985 it is partly used for housing.
