Brussels Beer Project Alcohol-Free Beers

Brussels Beer Project is a Brussels brewery founded in 2013 by Olivier de Brauwere and Sébastien Morvan. It makes two alcohol-free beers, both brewed with yeasts that keep the alcohol low, it says: Delta Zero, a 0.3% IPA, and Pico Bello, a hazy IPA.

Who are Brussels Beer Project?

“Born in 2013 with Olivier & Sébastien”, the brewer says: Olivier de Brauwere and Sébastien Morvan, who have been its managing directors since February 2013, the Belgian company register shows. Its Delta IPA was picked by a public vote, and L’Avenir reported in June 2013 that Delta would be the new Brussels beer.

It began with 369 crowdfunders in 2013 and now counts “over 5500” (elsewhere on the same page, 6,000), it says, through its Beer For Life scheme, which gives backers “a dozen free beers every year… for life”; in 2013 that cost €140, L’Avenir reported. The brewer doesn’t say the crowdfunders hold shares. Forbes.be reported that it has been a certified B Corp since 2022; we didn’t check that on B Lab’s directory.

From contract brewing to Anderlecht

From 2013 its “all-star” beers, such as Delta IPA and Grosse Bertha, were brewed under contract at Brouwerij Anders in Halen, Limburg, Inside.beer reported in 2020; that year two-thirds of its production was still made at a partner brewery in Limburg, VRT and L’Avenir reported.

In May 2020 it announced a €6 million brewery on the canal at Biestebroeck, in Anderlecht, for 35,000 hectolitres a year, due to open in September 2021; the fund Invest for Jobs put in €2.6 million, and the rest came from a BNP Paribas Fortis loan, bx1 and L’Avenir reported. The aim was to brew all its beers in Brussels, Inside.beer reported. The brewer now calls that brewery, Port Sud, “Our Flagship”, with “A capacity of 40,000+ hectoliters”. Sources differ: in November 2025 Team France Export reported that capacity would rise from 25,000 to 35,000 hectolitres, an investment of about €500,000. Its first site, Dansaert, in the city centre, “is in its second youth, focusing on lambic brewing and gueuze blending”, the brewer says.

Who owns Brussels Beer Project?

The Belgian company register lists both founders as directors and managing directors since 2013. It also lists investors on the board: Invest for Jobs since April 2020, a fund that Trends-Tendances described as a joint investment fund of the metal and technology-industry sector, and two holding companies, Huizinvest and Cofimatra Responsibility Management, since 2014. The register doesn’t show shareholdings, and the press didn’t say whether Invest for Jobs’ €2.6 million was equity or a loan.

We found no stake by a brewing group, and the register lists no linked companies, so we list it as independent.

How big is Brussels Beer Project?

It had an average of 32 full-time staff in 2025, up from 26.3 in 2024, according to Companyweb; its turnover isn’t published. Its revenue rose 10% in the year to August 2025, Team France Export reported. Belgium and France are its two main markets, Sébastien Morvan said in November 2025, and it stopped exporting outside Europe in November 2022, Forbes.be reported.

Brussels Beer Project’s alcohol-free beers

Pico Bello came first, launched in late 2019 after 18 months of development, Beer City Brussels said; Fleet went to De Proef, the contract brewery De Proefbrouwerij in Lochristi, to develop it. Its launch event was on 14 November 2019. The brewer says “Lowering the alcohol level of an existent beer was out of the question”: it uses “A special yeast strain” that “creates fruity esters and minimal alcohol”, and Beer City Brussels described several strains of lactobacillus and a fermentation stopped early. Its strength is 0.3% on the label data and at the shops, but Beer City Brussels gave 0.5% in 2020, and the brewer gives no figure. The label data gives 26 kcal per 100ml.

Delta Zero, a 0.3% version of Delta IPA made with LA-01 yeast, was on sale by early 2025, and Delhaize added it to its range in 2026, ESM Magazine reported. Alcohol-free beers made up 13% of the brewery’s revenue, three-quarters of it from Delta Zero, Team France Export reported in November 2025. The brewery told Forbes.be in 2024 that it genuinely wants to lower its overall average alcohol content and specialise in alcohol-free beers. “We don’t like sugar at BBP”, Sébastien Morvan told the Brussels Times in 2024.

A Dutch shop has listed a Pico Fruta sour and a Pico Nova IPA, but neither is in the brewer’s own shop now, so we treat them as past or limited beers. We found no awards for its alcohol-free beers.
