Who are Babeleir?
Babeleir says it is a micro-brewery in Namur, created by Jean-Benoît Castelain in 2022. The company behind it is younger: the Belgian company register lists BABELEIR SRL, with its registered office in Namur, from 13 December 2024, with beer manufacture among its activities.
In November 2023 L’Avenir described Castelain as a 34-year-old from Loyers whose beer was developed during lockdown: he brewed 2,000 litres at home in 100-litre pans, he said. That year he had made 120 hectolitres and would be happy to reach 240, and he was planning to set up his brewery in Namur and double his production, the paper reported.
Babeleir doesn’t say whether its beers, the alcohol-free one included, are brewed on its own kit or by another brewery, and we didn’t find out elsewhere, so we don’t say either way. The company register lists Castelain as its only administrator since December 2024. It doesn’t publish shareholders, but we found no drinks group involved, so we list Babeleir as independent.
What Babeleir brews
Its permanent range is Hugues, a farmhouse IPA; Serge, a hoppy tripel; Johnny, an IPA; and La Tribu de N.A., the alcohol-free hoppy ale. It also makes barrel-aged beers, Barril, a dark ale, and several Barrique barley wines, and limited “blending” beers. We found no awards for its alcohol-free beer.
Babeleir’s alcohol-free beer
La Tribu de N.A. is its only alcohol-free beer: Babeleir says it has all the hoppy taste of an IPA in a beer of only 0.4% alcohol. It’s hopped with Simcoe, Citra and Mosaic, at 15 IBU, and Babeleir describes a blend of tropical fruit, citrus and pine, with the pine adding that resinous, slightly bitter touch. It comes in 330ml cans.
Babeleir doesn’t say how it keeps the alcohol down, only that the beer is the result of meticulous craft work. It doesn’t publish its ingredients beyond the hops, or any calorie figures. The Alcohol Free Co calls it a “bright Belgian alcohol free hoppy ale”, with tropical fruit, citrus and pine resin and a lightly bitter finish.

Where to buy Babeleir
On 31 October 2026 The Alcohol Free Co had single cans of La Tribu de N.A. at £3.79 (an affiliate link), though its cases of 6, 12 and 24 had sold out. Dry Drinker lists it but showed every pack as unavailable, and Wise Bartender doesn’t list it.
