Brussels Beer Project

About Brussels Beer Project

Brussels Beer Project is an independent craft brewery based in Brussels, founded in 2013 by Olivier and Sébastien and built around a community-driven, experimental approach to brewing. The company presents itself as “a project” rather than a traditional brewery, with a mission to keep Belgian beer culture contemporary, collaborative, and open to new ideas. (beerproject.be)

It serves beer drinkers through a direct-to-consumer webshop, beer packs and subscriptions, and a network of taprooms and brewery experiences in Brussels, Paris, and Lille. Its market position combines craft-beer creativity with accessibility: the range includes flagship beers, limited editions, mixed-fermentation and lambic-based beers, and alcohol-free options.

The brand also emphasizes responsible brewing and local sourcing, describing ongoing efforts around circular economy, cleaner energy, and reduced carbon footprint. It says it became B Corp certified in 2022 and continues to work on sustainability improvements across ingredients, production, and distribution. (beerproject.be)
