The tour start at Concept Chocolate, visit of the chocolate artisan workshop and discovery of the different tastes of beans according to their fermentation. Chocolate workshop.

A group of people wearing hairnets and aprons gathered around a table in a food production or chocolate making facility, with a man speaking to them. workshop concept chocolate

What makes Maxime a perfect match for our fermentation story is his respect for origins and side-streams: Concept Chocolate is part of the Cacao-Trace programme, and he’s openly curious about elements like cocoa pod pulp—proof that flavour and sustainability can share the same starting point.

Bazaar Trottoir

Follow a guided walk in Tour with Bazaar Trottoir towards Be Here, a former liquor plant from Pernod Ricard turned into a sustainable food hub. Short walk around Tour and Taxi and story about how this area is a flagship for urban area revival.

Fermenthings

Lunch and discovery of Fermenthings, the fermentation hub in Brussels, tasting innovation drinks and products based on fermentation.

Yannick Schandené has been quietly shaping Brussels’ modern fermentation scene since 2017, when he opened a first fermented-food shop in Jette, years before fermentation became everyone’s favourite buzzword.

La Source Beer And Co.

Keep in touch for our next tour

A group of people gathered in an industrial kitchen setting, with some standing around new kegerators. One man is holding a glass of beer, and two others are holding bottles of beer, while a woman is serving from a kegerator. There are industrial kitchen appliances and equipment in the background.

People working on decorating chocolate cookies at a long table, with various small containers and tools around.

The organization views the city as a living organism, emphasizing sustainability and circular ecosystems. This makes the partnership with Fermentastic a perfect match; by visiting pioneers like La Source or BE-HERE, they use fermentation as a lens to understand urban transformation, showing how collaboration and patience drive both biological processes and city growth.

A dinner table set with various bowls of food, including pasta and snacks, and upside-down wine glasses. In the background, a bookshelf and a window with rain can be seen.

Today, he runs Fermenthings at BE-HERE, where it’s part shop, part workshop, part playground for microbes. Yannick is also behind the Urban Fermentory/Lab (opened September 2020), exploring circular fermentation, like transforming spent brewery grains into shoyu and miso—and expanding into a larger space in 2024. That mix of craft, curiosity, and low-waste thinking is exactly why he’s one of our Brussels pioneers, and a key stop on the tour.

Visit of La Source Microbrewery and tasting of homemade beers and end of the programme, but you can head back to Tour and Taxis for a nice drink and evening !

Mathieu Huygens is part of the newer Brussels beer story: less nostalgia, more immediacy. In 2019, he opened La Source Beer Co at BE-HERE, built around one simple flex, beer served straight from the tanks. Five vats are fitted with taps, so what you drink is about as close to “just brewed” as Brussels gets.

A woman with curly hair holds a glass of beer in a bar or brewery setting, with other people and bar equipment visible in the background.

What makes Mathieu a perfect fit for our tour is the mindset behind the freshness: La Source has leaned into a more low-impact, “full-circle” approach, right down to choices like packaging in cans to cut transport weight. It’s modern, technical, and unpretentious, exactly the kind of place where Brussels’ fermentation culture keeps evolving.
