Brasserie de la Senne

Brasserie de la Senne is at the origins of the ’new wave’ of craft beer in Brussels. We have been working, among other things, at encouraging the taste for well-hopped beers before they became trendy. Next to hoppy ales, we produce barrel-aged mixed-fermented beers, as well as beers refermented with a local Brettanomyces yeast. We aim at brewing beers of character that are well-balanced, with a requirement for quality and consistency, absence of compromise, and a totally natural production, as well as an extremely sharp selection of raw materials in a direct relationship with the producer.

A brewery made in Brussels

We met in May 2002, at the time of the second edition of the Zinneke parade in Brussels, for which Bernard had created the now famous Zinnebir. We started our professional brewing career towards the end of 2003, building a microbrewery in Sint-Pieters-Leeuw, in the former warehouse of the Moriau brewery. We decided to call it the “Sint-Pieter Brouwerij.” After producing for two years, the premises had become too small due to the success. We then decided to move and make our dream of establishing the brewery in our city, Brussels, a reality. To mark the occasion, we named our brewery after the river from which our city was born more than a thousand years ago: Brasserie de la Senne. It took us five years before we could properly settle in the city. Meanwhile, in order to continue production, we rented different breweries, owned by friends, where we could brew our beers ourselves. These migratory years came to a conclusion on December 22, 2010, the date of our first brew 100% made in Brussels!

Ils ont entamé leur carrière de brasseurs professionnels fin 2003, en construisant une microbrasserie à Sint-Pieters-Leeuw, dans l’ancien dépôt de la brasserie Moriau. Ils ont opté pour le nom de « Sint-Pieter Brouwerij ». Après deux ans d’activité, le succès aidant, les lieux sont devenus trop exigus. Ils ont alors décidé de déménager et de réaliser leur rêve : s’établir dans leur ville, Bruxelles. Pour marquer le coup, ils ont donné à leur brasserie le nom de la rivière grâce à laquelle la ville a vu le jour, il y a plus de mille ans d’ici : Brasserie de la Senne.

Il leur a fallu cinq années avant de pouvoir s’installer effectivement dans la Capitale. Entretemps, afin de pouvoir continuer la production, ils ont loué différentes brasseries appartenant à des amis, où ils ont été brasser leurs bières eux-mêmes. Ces années de bohème ont connu leur aboutissement le 22 décembre 2010, date de leur premier brassin 100% bruxellois !
