Brasserie de la Senne is a brewery in

Senne
which flows through the city.

History

De La Senne is the initiative of Bernard Leboucq and Yvan De Baets. Leboucq set up the St. Peter's Brewery in the former lambic brewery Moriau in

Cantillon Brewery.[2]

In 2013 they collaborated with Pennsylvania's

Hainaut region of Belgium.[4]

Procedure

Leboucq and De Baets do everything themselves, using traditional methods. The beers are neither filtered nor pasteurised, and no additives are added. The philosophy of the brewers is to brew beers that are characterful, but not necessarily strong. Two 20-hectolitre brews take place each week, giving an annual production of 1,800 hectolitres. The demand for the beers currently exceeds production capacity.[5]
