Half of the CO2 emissions across the entire value chain of the beer industry are generated by packaging and logistics.



We could reduce this contribution by decentralizing the production: we would no longer exchange bottles across the world but recipes that would be brewed locally. To succeed, we need to enable a small scale production and encourage recipe sharing. Our concept is built on the collaboration of 4 key pillars:



Pillar 1 - Connected mini (street-scale) breweries
Our fully operational prototype will evolve towards a a safe and friendly brewery.
This prototype is the result of 2 years work of 2 engineers (one of whom became CEO of Streetbrewers) with 20 years experience in industrial processes (design, implementation, automation, control, startup and 4.0 integration in the pharma and water treatment areas).
The prototype integrates the innovative aspects listed below. It is located at Smart Gastronomy Lab, Gembloux and can be visited every last Friday of the month.

Pillar 2 - Cloud infrastructure
This will be the continuation of the work of Anabel Energy (main shareholder) carried out since 2019 with the Walloon Region and transferred to Streetbrewers. This contribution consists of the development of site-cloud connectors and a cloud platform for the control of multi-site industrial processes. This cloud platform manages components such as databases, dashboards, alerts and notifications, cloud controllers, applications (control, visualization, geolocation, etc.) enabling the human/cloud interface on various media (mobile phone, tablet, etc.), IOT connected objects such as the site-cloud connectors mentioned above".

Pillar 3 - User community
We will start with collaborations between customers on voluntary basis. With time a user community will grow, participate in improving the brewery and use the online market below.

Pillar 4 - Secured online marketplace for recipes
This connected brewing process will allow creative brewers to exchange, sell or rent recipes with the greater brewing community on a secured online blockchain based marketplace. This way a brewpub in Tokyo can buy a recipe from a Belgian brewer and automatically brew a beautiful IPA in front of their guests.

Problem / Solution


The beer world is going local and craft. This means small volumes and no economies of scale in production, promotion or distribution. You have to be everywhere at once. It is very difficult for small breweries to survive against big beer. 



We believe that instead of copying big beer strategy and looking for a geographical extension of the outlets, the solution is in the vertical integration of the production (brewing) and the sales (horeca) in a brewpub (where 75% of the production is consumed locally).


But brewing requires qualified people. Pub owners will depend on staff that is hard to find... and keep.

Our connected street-scale breweries will enable more brewpubs to brew their own high quality beer without the headaches involved. The brewpub is locally anchored, offers transparency, creates sustainable communities and generates better margins.

You want to stand out? You want to tell your own story? Streetbrewers, your design & brew assistant, will help you to get it on tap!

What makes us unique is that our solution is the only one affordable for rather small capacities  (typically 300 hl/year) that enables our customers to sustainably combine creativity, quality, hospitality and profitability.

Our key innovative elements


  • industrial automation (incl. cleaning), robustness & quality
  • portable & compact, minimizing footprint
  • user friendly, even for non-initiated brewers : punctual interventions such as place/remove ingredients
  • repeatability over all the breweries of the Streetbrewers community
  • upgradable in capacity (bringing you from pico 5hl/y to micro level : 500hl/y)
  • modular & evolving with latest available practices and knowledge
  • customer experience maximized through design and interactive app's

Our solution automates the complete process from water intake to fermentation. While guests enjoy their beer the automatic brewing process unfolds right in front of them. Taps open, valves rotate automatically and brew up to 300 liters of high quality beer per day. Pub owners can meanwhile focus on serving their guests. They have complete oversight of the process at all times via a mobile app and can tweak ingredients, temperatures or fermentation time if necessary. This connected brewing process will allow creative brewers to exchange, sell or rent recipes with the greater brewing community on a secured online marketplace. This way a brewpub in Tokyo can buy a recipe from a Belgian brewer and automatically brew a beautiful IPA in front of their guests.

Product range


We focus on beer-restaurants & brewpubs.

We imagined a range of 3 products. Thanks to our modular approach, customers will be able to evolve with their sales from one version to another. GO is a starter version. Beer-restaurants will evolve towards BOOST version and Brewpubs will evolve towards TOP version.

Version        Investment        or 5 year renting                      Production                Cost/l

GO                  70k€                1400€/month                         4.000l/year              4,2€/l

BOOST           +70k€              +1400€/month                        12.000l/year               2,8€/l

TOP                +70k€              +1400€/month                      30.000l/year               1,7€/l
