La Brasserie d’Erquelinnes ou Brasserie Brootcoorens
se situe à Erquelinnes dans le Hainaut.
Une petite brasserie vraiment différente… L’homme qui sonne l’Angélus…
C’est depuis le début des années 90 qu’Alain Brootcoorens se passionne pour la production de bière. Pendant plusieurs années, c’est dans son garage aménagé en brasserie pour la circonstance qu’il peaufine des recettes.
Produire et partager des bières de qualité, non standardisées dans le cadre du développement local plutôt qu’économique. C’est bien là la réelle motivation de ce brasseur… En décembre 2000, la brasserie voit le jour à Erquelinnes…
