France - Breweries

The Facon Brewery (Brasserie Facon) was established in 1914 at Pont-de-Briques.
In 1987 the brewery was purchased by Brasseries de St Omer. Then in 1995 the breweries Facon and Semeuse (in Lille) merge with Saint-Omer and are united under the same umbrella, taking the name of GSA Brasseries.

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