Drawing on their experience in industry and microbiology, they wanted to increase their production while also professionalizing their operations.
This led them to the idea of joining forces in a craft microbrewery. A year ago, they found the perfect location, just a stone's throw from Lille Flandres station, and embarked on their adventure, supported by brewery creation professionals and members of Cigaleurope 2.
Thanks to Olivier's expertise in microbiology, they produce their own yeast using Belgian liquid strains. This is a rare occurrence among microbreweries! This gives them complete control over the yeast production process, allowing them to brew all kinds of beers and differentiate themselves from existing offerings.

Draught @ Pixel Brewery, Tourcoing. Pours a misty gold, white head. Hoppy sweet nose. Flavour profile presents a fair sweet hoppy side, very mild carb, lager malt sweet base, but not really grabbing me.

Draught @ Pixel Brewery, Tourcoing. Pours a clear golden blonde, pure white head. Very floral, perfumed nose which continues to taste, disconcertingly floral, very perfumed, sweet, with no pepper at all. Low carb. Most peculiar.
