Bourgogne des Flandres is an iconic beer that made its return to Bruges in 2015, after 60 years, under the guidance of Anthony Martin. The brewery is housed in a historic building along the Bruges canals and combines traditional brewing techniques with modern innovations. The brewhouse, located in the attic with a stunning view over the city, has become a major tourist attraction.
We were responsible for the full installation of the 10hl brewhouse, fully clad in copper, including open fermentation vessels and lagering tanks. The system was custom-designed to fit the limited space while ensuring that Bourgogne des Flandres could maintain its characteristic brewing process. Each year, approximately 2000hl is brewed on this installation, both for beer production and for brewing wash, which is used in their whisky production.
Beyond engineering and installation, we also handled the commissioning and fine-tuning of the system, ensuring that brewmaster Thomas Vandelanotte could operate with maximum flexibility and ease. Today, the brewery is in full production, and visitors can experience Bourgogne des Flandres firsthand while enjoying the welcoming atmosphere of the brasserie.
