With two beer bottles, François Englert wanted to pay tribute to his friend and colleague Robert Brout, whose portrait is on the labels of the bottles. The Englert-Brout partnership stretched from 1961 more or less until Brout's death in 2011. In 1964, they co-authored an article that was a decisive step on the road to discovering the Higgs particle. It was not until 2012 that the existence of the Higgs particle could be conclusively proven by an experiment at the CERN laboratory, and Englert and Peter Higgs were jointly awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics the following year.
François Englert donated the bottles to the Nobel Prize Museum in 2013. - Pristagare
