Comment était fabriquée la bière au Luxembourg avant-guerre
Un film documentaire baptisé Garçon, un bock datant de 1938. Il a été réalisé par René Leclère, considéré comme le premier cinéaste professionnel au Luxembourg.

These images are from a 1938 documentary called Garçon, un bock (loosely translates to Waiter, one beer). It was filmed at the Brasserie Mousel and depicts the individual stages of the beer-brewing process.

The documentary was directed by René Leclère, who is considered to be Luxembourg’s first professional filmmaker. The premiere took place at the Marivaux cinema in April 1938.
