Beerselect

What Beerselect does

Beerselect (legal entity: Uselect Evergem bv) is a Belgium-based contract brewing and copacking company founded in 2016 and headquartered in Evergem, with a second production site in Ghent. The company brews, ferments, fills, and packages beverages on behalf of third-party customers, primarily small local craft breweries that have outgrown their own production capacity, as well as established beer companies, RTD beverage producers (hard seltzers, cocktails, non-alcoholic lemonades, detox drinks, kombucha), and copacking customers delivering bulk product in tankers. A typical end-to-end engagement runs approximately six weeks from intake to delivery, with the customer providing the recipe and BeerSelect handling scaling, brewing, packaging, and logistics.

The production platform comprises four automated 4-vessel brewhouses (20, 40, and 80hL), 80+ double-walled stainless steel cylindrical-conical fermentors with continuous temperature and pressure monitoring, two KRONES and GEA filling lines capable of more than 15,000 units per hour across cans (25-50cl), bottles, and kegs, tunnel and flash pasteurization, centrifuge technology, dry-hopping capability, in-house lab analytics (Anton Paar, spectrophotometer, CO2/O2 meters, PCR for microbial stability), and FSSC 22000 and organic/biological certifications. The company emphasizes sustainability through solar generation and water/heat recovery.

The business model is B2B professional services: custom quote-based contract brewing and copacking, with pricing dependent on beer style, volume, and packaging requirements, billed on a pay-as-you-go basis. Sales is conducted through a mix of inside sales and enterprise field sales led by a Business Development Manager and a CFO-supported management team, with founders Wout Meuleman (CEO), Kasper Peeters (Operations), and Miel Bonduelle (Commercial, listed as inactive) still actively involved. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, and the company has raised 900,000 EUR in seed funding from Belfius and PMV to construct production capacity.

Direct peers

• Brouwerij Jessenhofke: Belgian craft brewery in Kerkom that has historically operated as a small-scale contract and guest brewers' facility, directly comparable to BeerSelect's model of brewing third-party recipes with craftsmanship positioning.
• Brouwerij De Brabandere: Belgian family-owned brewery in Bavikhove that runs both its own brands and contract brewing/copacking for other brewers, serving comparable craft customers with similar multi-format brewing capacity and offering a direct competitive overlap with BeerSelect's core service.

Broad incumbents

• AB InBev: Global brewing leader headquartered in Leuven, Belgium, with extensive contract and copacking capabilities across multiple formats; an indirect competitor and industry benchmark for BeerSelect's service model despite operating at vastly larger scale.
• Duvel Moortgat: Major Belgian brewery group (Duvel, Vedett, Chouffe) with extensive brewing and bottling infrastructure that competes for high-quality contract and copacking work in Belgium and represents the larger-end incumbent BeerSelect benchmarks against.
• Vandebrouck (formerly Haacht): Belgian brewing group providing contract brewing and copacking services alongside its own brands, comparable to BeerSelect in serving Belgian and regional craft brewers needing outsourced production capacity.
• Krombacher Brauerei: Large German private brewery with significant in-house brewing, filling, and logistics infrastructure that increasingly offers copacking services to third parties, comparable in service breadth though not in craft positioning.
• Brouwerij Huyghe: Belgian brewery known for Delirium brand that operates large-scale brewing and packaging services, including third-party production, positioning it as a broader incumbent peer in Belgian contract brewing.
• Royal Swinkels Family Brewers: Large Dutch-based family brewer (Bavaria, De Molen, and others) with significant copacking and contract brewing capacity across multiple beverage categories, providing scale competition to BeerSelect in Benelux contract brewing.
• Brouwerij Van Honsebrouck: Belgian brewery group (St. Louis, Kasteel) operating modern brewing and packaging facilities, with capabilities that overlap with BeerSelect's contract and copacking offerings in the Belgian market.

Regional players

• Brouwerij Het Nest: Belgian craft brewery offering turnkey brewing services to third parties, serving the same Flemish/Belgian craft customer base and providing comparable recipe-to-bottle services though at a smaller scale than BeerSelect.
