The current range

Our Beers

Five beers, each brewed with intention, balance and character.

Bottle of Vandekelder Belgian IPA

Belgian IPA

IBU 59 · EBC 15 · 4.4% ABV

A hazy straw-blonde IPA with a pronounced, lingering bitterness and a dry, herbal finish. Brewed exclusively with European hops, it leans more classic than New-World, while Belgian yeast adds subtle spice and a clean, dry profile.

Bottle of Vandekelder Cuvée

Cuvée

IBU 37 · EBC 16 · 7.3% ABV

A golden, full-bodied ale with gentle acidity, soft malt warmth and a dry, elegant finish. Developed over two years, it balances cellar-like character, subtle spice and noble hop bitterness into a refined, expressive beer.

Bottle of Vandekelder Saison

Saison

IBU 30 · EBC 15 · 5% ABV

A thirst-quenching blond farmhouse ale with light bitterness and crisp grain notes. The yeast ferments all sugars, leaving a bone-dry, refreshing finish, supported by a subtle acidity and a soft, rustic malt backbone.

Bottle of Vandekelder Berliner

Berliner

IBU 3 · EBC 6 · 3.2% ABV

A hazy, straw-yellow sour ale with a bright, gentle acidity and almost no bitterness. Lactobacillus shapes the tart profile, while wheat and pilsner malt keep the body light, soft and highly drinkable on warm days.

Bottle of Vandekelder Saison Noire

Saison Noire

IBU 24 · EBC 98 · 7.8% ABV

A dark saison with a surprisingly light body and a dry, refreshing finish. Notes of coffee and caramel meet a restrained bitterness, creating a beer that looks robust but drinks smooth, elegant and highly sessionable.

Our Story

From a Brussels basement to a modern microbrewery at Greenbizz.

The ten behind Vandekelder

Brasserie Vandekelder started in a small Brussels basement in 2016. Ten Brussels beer lovers, four ingredients — malt, water, hops and yeast — and a lot of curiosity.

In those early days, every brew was an experiment and every bottle a discovery. There was no grand plan: just late-night conversations, trial and error, and the simple satisfaction of making something ourselves.

Hundreds of brewing sessions followed. Over time, that curiosity became a clear approach: brew beers with character, don’t chase every trend, go against the stream when necessary, and find beauty in simplicity whenever possible.

Today, Brasserie Vandekelder has found its home at Greenbizz in Brussels — a place where tradition meets innovation, and where every batch still begins with the same curiosity that started it all in that basement.

Back to Beer. Always.

Taking shape in Laeken

Greenbizz:
the next chapter

Greenbizz is a natural fit for Vandekelder: a Brussels community of makers, innovators and entrepreneurs built around responsible enterprise. As the brewery takes shape there, we are working on practical targets around water and energy use, local ingredients, circular packaging and distribution, and social engagement.

New brewing equipment being installed at Greenbizz

01

Use less,
sustain more

Work towards reducing water use per litre; reuse rinse water; improve cleaning, heat recovery and insulation; increase organic-waste valorisation.

02

Short chain,
long impact

Increase Belgian hop sourcing and introduce organic malt, strengthening shorter supply chains.

03

Think circular,
deliver smart

Increase reuse of bottles and packaging, reduce new packaging and grow lower-impact urban delivery.

04

Brewing with a
heart for people

Work with local and social partners and develop workshops around brewing, hops and sustainability.
