De drijvende krachten achter het concept zijn Rick, André en Mark. 3 vrienden uit het Heuvelland met een grote voorliefde voor het brouwen (en proeven) van lokale speciaal bieren. Uit een combinatie van alles wat het Heuvelland fijn en waardevol maakt, is in 2021 brouwerij Vakwerk geboren. Vakwerk vind je in het Heuvelland op elke vierkante meter en dat koesteren we. De beleving die je opdoet als je in het Heuvelland bent willen we door vertalen naar onze bieren. Vakwerk moet je proeven!
Wij brouwen onze bieren zelf in het Heuvelland. Als de recepten geperfectioneerd zijn zetten we het brouwproces van onze brouwsels eigenhandig voort in een huurbrouwerij zodat we een grotere oplage kunnen produceren. We brouwen met passie en we hopen dat ieder die van onze bieren geniet dat ervaart!
