France - Breweries

Brasserie Grain d'Orge was a family-owned brewery that was established in 1898. It was formerly known as Brasserie Jeanne D'Arc. It was located in Ronchin, Northern France, just south of the Belgian border. It was sold in 2000 and the new management in 2002 wanted the brewery's name to represent it's commitment to natural, authentic ingredients, therefore they changed the name to Grain D'Orge which translates literally as barley grain. In 2010 Brasseurs de Gayant and Brasserie Grain d'Orge merge, before coming Brasserie Goudale in 2016.

Over the years the brand identity is updated and re-launched with subtle changes, a change of Logo or a new font.
Sometimes this brand update is done by the new owners after a brewery has been sold, other times just to give the brand a fresh new look on the ever growing market.

Below are some notes to help identify some of these changes and an aid to reference the year of the glass.
