Brasserie de la Senne
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.

How we measure this
Two thresholds are at work here:
- The signature list shows notes that recur in at least 6% of this brewery's beers. A low bar — enough to flag a pattern, not high enough to call it an exclusive trait.
- The peer comparison below shows only notes where this brewery's coverage differs from similar breweries by at least 20 percentage points. A higher bar — enough to call a real difference, not a nudge.
A note can appear on the signature list without appearing in the peer comparison: it recurs here, but similar breweries do the same thing.
