From the record

Summary

Fiercely independent producer of heavy, high-ABV traditional Belgian ales like Dominus Vobiscum and La Vache Folle. Official history gives inauguration of the microbrewery/Saint-Pub on July 3, 1998.

A summary written during research. The sourced facts are in the sections below.

Tally’s Take

Heavy Belgian ales, brewed hard, with no interest in being acquired. Dominus Vobiscum is a beer that assumes you are paying attention.
