A day of immersion with Frédéric and Jean-Michel

Knowledge of beer brewing

A gourmet meal + 24 bottled beers + unlimited beer from tap

The workshop in detail

  • 6h
  • 16 years min.
  • 4 to 12 participants
  • Up to 15 people for a privatization
  • Step inside a wonderful craft brewery and treat yourself to this advanced brewing course with Frédéric and Jean-Michel! 

    The passionate brewing duo Frédéric and Jean-Michel will give you a warm welcome and a tour of the premises, sharing their valuable knowledge of beer brewing for a whole day.

    These brewers will start by giving you a theoretical introduction to beer: what ingredients are needed and how to combine the different malts and hops to obtain various beers. Next, they will explain the brewing and fermentation of beer.

    Then, it's time to get practical: crush the malt and discover what mashing is!

    Then move on to filtering, boiling and hopping your recipe. After cooling the wort, the yeast can be added. Fermentation is a two-week process where the yeast transforms the sugars into alcohol. So the brewers will explain these steps. 

    The beer will then be bottled and you will have to wait at least one more week for the bubbles to form and for it to become sparkling. As a result, you will leave with beers that are already made!

    You'll get a tour of the brewery and arthouse, as well as enjoy a gourmet meal featuring the house's best beers and last but not least, you can taste directly from the barrel during the workshop (and as much as you want!).

    You will leave this unique moment with a full stomach and lightheaded, 24 bottled beers and new knowledge about the world of beer. 

    And that's it! Beer making will no longer hold any secrets for you!

    This workshop is a time for sharing and socialising! You will discover the subtleties of "beerology".

    Meet Frédéric & Jean-Michel

    Brewmaster

    Frédéric is a professional, master brewer and sommelier, but above all a beer fanatic! He knows everything about the biosynthesis of a good beer.

    At night, he becomes an expert in Latin dance and performs the tango like crazy!

    His brewing story began in Argentina, in Buenos Aires. He started with a few homemade beers to compensate for the lack of Belgian beers in Latin America. One thing leading to another, his small brewery became a huge success and he created his own Belgian brand in Argentina. Upon his return to Belgium, he continued with the same concept, but with special beers and the help of some friends.

    Frédéric now works with Jean-Michel, a permaculture expert, amateur botanist and official taster!

    Together, they manage their innovative microbrewery and dream of having their own Brewpub as well as a creation and meeting centre for beer lovers, artisans, artists and musicians.
