HISTORY

HISTORY

ORIGIN OF THE BRAND

BOUCAN-senza-sfondo.png

The word "Boucanier" is derived from the French word"boucan", which refers to an old barbecue method and which was used on the Hispaniola island (present-day Haïti and the Dominican Republic), where deserters from various navies, as well as European outlaws, lived in the XVIIth century. They called themselves "buccaneers" and formed the first ships' crews for boarding and robbing mainly Spanish sailing vessels in the Caribbean. The "Buccaneers" loved their spirits such as rum and, of course, exceptional and strong beer. Consequently, "Bière du Boucanier" made its appearance.
