Bottoms Up: 44 cl cans and sustainable cardboard can packaging

The new site has a lot to offer the country’s better beer aficionados. A new and high-tech filling line will capitalise on retail trends with the production of innovative and sustainable packaging. From filling 44 cl cans and higher “sleek & slim” ones, to filling glass screw cap bottles, you name it.

The site will also be equipped with a tunnel pasteuriser, specifically designed for pasteurising non-alcoholic beers. In addition, BeerSelect will be the first Belgian company to machine-place cardboard blisters over cans. Now, that’s a conscious and ecological choice for the future!

Sustainable love for premium beer

The Ghent-based brewery led by Wout Meuleman, Kasper Peeters and Mathieu Deschuyter doubles down on its sustainability mission with a completely plastic-free production process. The new site will be 12 meters high, with a water treatment installation and an efficient solar farm on the roof.

“Our mindset remains the same”,
Wout Meuleman, BeerSelect’s CEO says.

“We’re still the same passionate beer lovers with an eye for flavor innovation, helping small brewers develop, produce and commercialise their own quality brews. We’re so proud we’re able to support our customers in winning awards and medals – they’ve won 14 this year alone! That’s what we do it for, and I’m excited to expand our team of beer geeks to a solid 40 members by 2025. That’s what you call tasty entrepreneurship!”
