Known for Belgian Pale Ale

Founded in 2003 by Yvan De Baets and Bernard Leboucq, Brasserie de la Senne is the spiritual heart of Brussels craft brewing. Named after the Senne river that runs through the city, the brewery pioneered hop-forward, bitter beers at a time when Belgian brewing was dominated by sweet, malty styles. All beers are unfiltered, unpasteurized, and bottle-conditioned. Widely credited with sparking Brussels' modern craft beer revival.
