Bières de Quartiers

What Bières de Quartiers does

Bières de Quartiers is a Belgian craft beer producer founded in 2018 by Bruno and Greg, headquartered and operating exclusively in Brussels and its periphery. The company's core offering is a portfolio of neighborhood-specific craft beers, comprising 14 permanent SKUs (e.g., La Flagey, La Parvis, La Bruxsels, La Cinquantenaire, La Stockel, La Uccle Centre) and more than 12 limited-edition SKUs (e.g., La De Wand, La Cygne, La Béguinage, La Josaphat, La Trois Tilleuls), each themed around a named Brussels neighborhood with locally sourced ingredients and label storytelling. Two SKUs (La Stockel and La Uccle Centre) carry BE-BIO-01 organic certification. The company does not own production capacity: Bruno and Greg develop recipes on a 30-liter testing installation, and full-scale brewing is contracted to five partner artisan breweries (En Stoemelings, Cohop, IllegaaL, La Binchoise, Jandrain-Jandrenouille) across Brussels and Wallonia. The co-creation process is participatory, driven by neighborhood micro-polls and community evenings that define the recipe and label direction for each new beer.

The business operates a community-led go-to-market. Consumers purchase through the pintjes.brussels e-commerce webshop (with €7.50 delivery in Brussels and periphery, free above €75), through local bars and restaurants in target neighborhoods (the preferred channel), and directly via private-event orders for neighborhood-themed gatherings. Pricing is unit-based: €2.20–€2.50 per 25cl bottle, Pack Cadeautje gift packs at €22.00–€23.50, Caisse Melting Pot mixed cases of 24 bottles at €52.80 or 24 cans at €60.00, and merchandise (25cl glass €4, 33cl glass €5, T-shirt €15). Distribution is single-country/domestic (Belgium), with explicit geographic restrictions outside Brussels and its periphery.

The company is privately held, bootstrapped, and founder-operated, with no institutional investors, parent company, or funding rounds disclosed in the source material. The management team consists of the two co-founders, Bruno and Greg. The company is actively operating, maintains an Untappd presence alongside Instagram and Facebook, and has secured earned media coverage in Belgian outlets (Bruzz, BX1, La Capitale, VivreICI, The Bulletin, Nieuwsblad). The registered brand identity (name, logo, visual identity) is explicitly protected.

Core offering

Bières de Quartiers produces and sells collaborative craft beers themed around individual Brussels neighborhoods. Recipes are developed by founders Bruno and Greg on a 30-liter test brewing installation, then produced at scale by partner breweries. Each neighborhood initiates and co-designs its own beer through a three-step community process (micro-poll, community evening, brewing) with neighborhood-inspired ingredients, labels featuring local streets, anecdotes, and icons.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• BrewDog: Large multinational craft brewer with an explicitly community/identity-driven positioning (Equity for Punks, local-bar partnerships); comparable as a scaled example of how a community-led craft brand can grow beyond its origin market.
• De Koninck: Established Antwerp-based Belgian craft/regional brewer with broader distribution and a city-identity brand anchor; relevant as a larger Belgian craft incumbent in similar on-premise channels.
• Duvel Moortgat: Major Belgian specialty brewer with a portfolio of craft and specialty brands; the dominant scaled craft-adjacent player whose distribution and HoReCa relationships set the competitive backdrop for smaller Brussels craft brands.
• Mikkeller: Internationally recognized gypsy/collaborative craft brewer with a deep portfolio of one-off and story-driven SKUs; relevant as a comparable model for an asset-light, collaboration-driven craft brand with a story-led identity.
• Cantillon Brewery: Heritage Brussels lambic brewery and global reference for the Brussels craft scene; much larger and older, but the most prominent Brussels craft incumbent whose brand and reach shape the local competitive context.

Direct peers

• Brasserie Jandrain-Jandrenouille: Walloon Brabant craft brewery (founded 2006) that brews La Trois Tilleuls and La Wiener for Bières de Quartiers; directly comparable small-batch Belgian craft producer with similar style portfolio.

• Brussels Beer Project: A Brussels-based craft brewery that pioneered a community- and city-identity-driven beer concept (e.g., a beer for each Brussels commune), making it the closest direct competitor in neighborhood-themed craft brewing with a similarly participatory brand ethos.
• Brasserie La Binchoise: Wallonia-based craft brewery (since 1836) that produces organic beers for Bières de Quartiers; directly comparable as a small-batch Belgian craft producer with off-premise and on-premise distribution.
