Brasserie Peak Beer

Brasserie Peak Beer is a high-altitude Belgian brewery rooted in the landscapes of the High Fens. Its identity is inseparable from its setting near the Signal de Botrange, where local water, peatland scenery and the language of summits shape both the brewery’s name and its beer range. From a two-founder project in 2016, Peak developed into a working brewery, visitor destination and producer of year-round and limited beers. Born at Belgium’s summit The project began in 2016, with construction starting in early 2017 at Sourbrodt, in the High Fens nature reserve near the Signal de Botrange. The first brew was made in October 2017, followed by the building’s official inauguration in February 2018. The name Peak refers directly to the brewery’s elevated location and its position at Belgium’s highest point. Water from the High Fens Peak’s beers are brewed with water from the High Fens. The brewery describes this water as soft, low in minerals and relatively acidic after moving through the peatlands.
