Belgium Peak Beer

What Belgium Peak Beer does

Belgium Peak Beer sa is a privately held Belgian craft brewery founded in 2016 by a group of friends and headquartered at Sourbrodt (Waimes) in the Walloon Region, at 694 meters elevation — Belgium's highest point, adjacent to the Hautes Fagnes natural reserve. The brewery produces a portfolio of 11 permanent beers (Blonde, Triple, Scotch, Myrtille, IPA, Blanche, Zest, Christmas, 0.0%, Grand Cru, Hazy IPA), a seasonal and limited-edition programme including the annual Peak Barrel Aged series launched in 2018, and two high-altitude liqueurs (Genepeak and Genepeak Ginger) distilled from Peak beer at the Radermacher distillery.

Production relies on top-fermented brewing with bottle re-fermentation without filtration, water sourced from the Hautes Fagnes reserve, dry hopping with specialty hop varieties, and — for the 0.0% line — a proprietary vacuum distillation process that preserves the base beer's flavour profile. The Peak Barrel Aged programme uses oak barrels previously containing rum, cognac, whisky, port, calvados, and bourbon, with Brettanomyces yeasts deployed for sour/funky profiles.

Revenue is generated through multiple streams: packaged beer sales via on-site shop, e-commerce (peakbeer.be), and third-party retail/hospitality points of sale across Belgium; an on-site restaurant seating 120 covers; brewery tours at €14 per person; group events for up to 250 people; gift boxes and branded merchandise; and the Genepeak liqueur line. Marketing is concentrated in a multilingual website (FR/NL/DE/EN) and Instagram. The brewery also operates 8 signed hiking routes around the site and works with regional accommodation partner Ardennes Étape.
