About us
We are nine Brussels beer lovers, who took the mash paddle into their own hands back in 2016. Just a stone's throw away from the royal palace and smack in the middle of the fascinating Brussels Canal Zone, we dove into a Laeken cellar armed with four elements: malt, water, hops, and yeast. There we encountered a fifth: an intoxicating passion that has known no rest ever since.
This is the story of Brasserie Vandekelder.

What do we stand for?
Authentic, balanced, artisanal brews in a new guise. Robust beers with heart and soul, without compromising on quality and completely independent from the hip hop or the flavor of the week.
In hundreds of brewing sessions, we have pumped thousands of liters through our taps. In the quest to find our essence, hone our craft and deliver the envisioned palette, aroma and color to our brews, we discovered ourselves as averse to trend hopping, against the stream if necessary, finding beauty in simplicity when possible.
After countless times of sampling, sipping and weighing, craft and pleasure burst from every seam of our cellar. In 2020 Brasserie Vandekelder finally emerged with the necessary brewing confidence to become part the creative, rich and lively Brussels beer scene.
