Brasserie de Bertinchamps

Brasserie de Bertinchamps is a modern Belgian family brewery rooted in an unexpectedly old setting: a restored square farm near Gembloux whose origins reach back more than seven centuries. The Humblet family brought new brewing equipment into its former barns in 2013, pairing contemporary production with a strongly local identity. Its house glass reinforces that character—simple, sturdy and unmistakably marked by the brewery’s black B and wheat emblem. A new brewery in an old farm The Humblet family was looking for a site where it could establish a new brewery and continue the brewing tradition of Benoît Humblet. They found the Bertinchamps farm near Gembloux in 2011, when the historic buildings were in poor condition. After almost two years of renovation, the brewing installation was placed in the old barns in March 2013. The brewery’s modern fermentation capacity sits in deliberate contrast with the farm’s more-than-seven-century history. A house identity made for sharing The brewery’s current range includes Bertinchamps Triple, Blonde, Brune, Hiver, alcohol-free beers, fruit-inflected versions, an IPA and barrel-aged releases. The Belgian Beer Glass Museum records a 25-cl Bertinchamps house glass manufactured in 2024: a tall, robust tumbler between a pils glass and a straight-sided Belgian form. Its restrained decoration features a large black B, the Bertinchamps name and an ear of wheat, giving the brewery a practical yet distinctive serving identity. A contemporary family brewery expressing Belgian farm-brewing identity through modern equipment, historic place and a quietly distinctive house glass.
