Brasserie Tandem

What Brasserie Tandem does

Brasserie Tandem is a privately held craft brewery founded in 2019 in Wambrechies, Hauts-de-France, France, by co-founders Aymeric and Pierre-André. The brewery produces a core range of eight beers — Bonne Pioche, Coup de Soleil, Looping, Pas Cap, Pin Pon, Poule Mouillée, Prem's, and the non-alcoholic Même pas mal — alongside a rotating catalogue of ephemeral/limited-edition beers (e.g., Fauteuse de Troubles, Voyage Voyage, Lille Maurice, Spell the Tea). Production is built on an eco-responsible platform: the core range has been Agriculture Biologique (FR-BIO-01) certified since summer 2021 using 100% organic malt and hops, electricity is sourced from green supplier LLUM, cereal residues are returned to a local farmer as animal feed, and packaging uses returnable bottles and reusable stainless-steel kegs.

The business operates a multi-channel revenue model. Direct-to-consumer sales run through a taproom, bar and boutique at the Wambrechies brewery (offering beers, food — planches, burgers, raclettes, mezzés — and a loyalty card), an owned e-commerce site shipping across France, and brewery tours (€12–15/person, Fridays). Wholesale distribution covers eight major supermarket chains (Auchan, Carrefour, Cora, Intermarché, Leclerc, Match, Monoprix, Système U) plus bar and pub on-tap accounts, specialist wine merchants (Nicolas, V&B, Inter Caves), proximity networks (O'Tera, Halles Modernes), organic specialists (Naturalia), consignment delivery (Le Fourgon), and the Clap Clap group-buying platform. Ancillary services include keg/tap rental for private events and venue privatization (up to 100 people) for corporate and group bookings. Branded merchandise (t-shirts, hoodies, socks, caps, glasses, posters) is sold online and on-site.

The company serves a fragmented mix of B2C consumers (taproom visitors, e-commerce shoppers, event hosts) and B2B accounts (retail chains, bars, restaurants, works councils). Geographic operations are concentrated in Hauts-de-France, with active expansion into Paris and Île-de-France. The team has grown to approximately 20 employees, and the brewery maintains a presence across social media (Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn), festivals (Bière à Lille, Marathon de la Biéère des Flandres, Braderie de Lille), and earned media (La Voix du Nord, Bière Actu, Cosmopolitan, LSA).
