Description
When we first started in 2016 it was nothing more than an empty warehouse. Thanks to great friends and family we were able to create this unique space with over 300 square meters and our concept of an open brewery.

We believe in high standard and will always serve great quality beers!

Beers brewed at Hopsters are made with the freshest ingredients. Our brewery project began producing its first beers, like most brewers, back in our home kitchen a few years back.

Now with our new machinery we make 4 standard types of beer and several seasonally changing styles depending on availability of ingredients.

Our aim is to bring people together over a passion of hand crafted beer and of course about using selected ingredients
to create the freshest beer for you.

Draft @ XII Fira Jafre. Couleur pourpre, col fin rosé. Arôme est charge en belles notes de cerise assez doux - clairement pas du style Schaarbeek. Palais est léger superbement bien fruité chargé en cerise avec une rondeur accentuée et chargée en fruits par la mise en fût. Au final, l'effet 'sour' est plutôt en retrait par rapport à l'apport fruité, ce qui n'est pas mauvais.
