CoHop

Learn more about us

CoHop - the first microbrewery cooperative in Brussels - is a shared and eco-responsible brewery offering quality craft beers, with a positive societal impact, all in an open and friendly place.

In a world where human contact has once again become central, where craftsmanship, local roots, sharing and solidarity are values highlighted, CoHop aims to promote Brussels crafts by facilitating the creation of sustainable and eco-responsible micro-breweries, thus strengthening the offer of quality artisanal products on the Brussels market.

It is in a unique place at the Arsenal d'Etterbeek, that the Witlook, DrinkThatBeer, 1B2T and the bakery-brewery Janine wanted to set up this hybrid place and Brussels craft hub!

The CoHop is a hybrid and lively place composed of:

a shop;
a sandwich shop;
a unique tasting area and bar in Brussels (+ 20 beers);
a space dedicated to vocational training,
and an area exclusively dedicated to the production of beers;

Our commitments to a sustainable world

CoHop strives to offer a sustainable project, with local products, with a low impact on the environment, and with a positive societal impact.

CoHop is working on circularity! The breads that come from Janine are partly made from spent grains from their brews, and their beers are produced from unsold breads, for 15% of them.

CoHop works with different local market gardeners and the sandwich selection is made up exclusively of seasonal and local products.

The cooperative now uses canned packaging. This packaging allows for a product that is lighter and smaller than the bottle, which then optimizes transport, as well as the necessary space.

Their premises will soon have solar panels, water and vapour recovery systems, for an even lower environmental impact.

The CoHop cooperative aims to pool different services and expertise and also offers training.
