Brussels Beer Project Brussels

Sarah from Brussels

About me Originally from Montreal, I've always dreamed of seeing the world. My interests in politics and travelling led me to a career in international relations and inevitably to Brussels, which I first discovered in 2010 while studying for my Master's degree. Living in Europe was my dream, and living it is better than I imagined. On a daily basis, I try to fulfill my addiction to hygge, my...

Brussels Beer Project Brussels

Locally brewed with style

""Brussels Beer Project" is visible all over the city, but it took me a while to find their actual taproom! I like how their beer is like modern tradition."

Brussels=beer, so it’s an obvious choice to write about brewers and bars. The Brussels Beer Project, or BBP for locals and hipsters, is now well established on the BXL scene. For years. I kept seeing their awesome beers in bars and grocery stores, ordering my fair share of Grosse Bertha, one of their best-sellers. The project then grew and they now have 2 taprooms and this really cool brewery in Anderlecht called Port Sud. Such a cool summer hangout by the canal...

What’s great about the Brussels Beer Project is that their beers resemble the abbey-dense traditional Belgium beers, but with a modern twist and are somewhat lighter - still no less delicious though. Their beers are brewed on the premises and makes for an excellent postcard photo from BXL.

The two taprooms (in St-Catherine & Chatelain) are hip venues where you can enjoy small or big glasses of what's being produced at the moment - their usual classics and some seasonal beers (I am obsessed with their stouts). If you don’t drink beers, you can still enjoy a visit, as they also have non-commercial, non-alcoholic beverages and food (I'm talking about you, disco-ball pizza oven!). Go enjoy what Brussels does best - beer!

PS: The BBP organises a Craft Beer Festival every year called WANDERLUST* (usually in September). It's a great opportunity to discover local breweries from different countries. An added reason to schedule your Brussels trip for next fall...
