History
The Brasserie Nationale was born in 1975 from the fusion of two breweries: The Brasserie Bofferding from Bascharage, founded by Jean-Baptiste Bofferding in 1842, and the Brasserie Funck-Bricher located at the Grund (in Luxembourg-City), founded in 1764. In 1964 the Funck-Bricher brewery had already bought the smaller Brasserie de Dudelange. After the fusion of the two breweries was completed, the newly founded Brasserie Nationale closed the old brewery at the Grund and relocated its production completely to the Bofferding brewery in Bascharage. In 2005 the Brasserie Nationale bought the Brasserie Battin from Esch-Alzette (which was founded in 1937) and transferred the production of Battin-beer to its brewery in Bascharage.
