Brussels is a vibrant metropolis where cultures, cuisines and creative people come together. People with innovative ideas, world-changing concepts and entrepreneurial spirit work every day to make their city and the world a better place. Also involved are the brewers of the Brussels Beer Project, who are turning the beer scene on its head with a breath of fresh air and sustainable plans.
The humble roots of the small brewery from Brussels lie in the kitchen of Olivier and Sébastien: the two beer enthusiasts brewed the first varieties of their own beer in their own four walls. Their insatiable thirst for beer prompted them to stand at the kettle or pot themselves and turn the nonsense in their heads into beer. After making a start and brewing the first drinkable beers, the two made their project official with the help of a crowdfunding campaign. An incredible 369 people believed in the team's creations and supported the founders with a large financial injection. Today, the number of supporters has risen to more than 4,000, which is not least thanks to the success of the brewery and its beers. But the backers of the Brussels Beer Project are more than just investors: the brewery has created a real community of its benefactors and involves them in important decisions. For example, the community selects beers for the core range and keeps Sébastien and Olivier on their toes.
A challenging audience is exactly what the two brewers want from their circle of friends and acquaintances. The two are bursting with ideas, plans and projects. One of the brewery's many activities is the circular economy, a project that is absolutely close to their hearts. The resourceful minds were the first brewers in the world to turn old, unsold bread into beer. But the cycle doesn't end there! The spent grain left over from the brewing process is then used to make bread again. The brewers are also in the process of minimizing their ecological footprint by generating electricity from the brewery's own solar cells and sourcing their raw materials from regional farmers. The brewery is constantly evolving under the strict eyes of their community. The team, which now has more than 30 members, also receives new input through exchanges with other brewers. As part of collaborations, brewers from all over the world are always guests to share their wealth of experience, recipes and techniques and to brew good beer. You can taste the fruits of their labor here with us!
