Boerenerf is a farm brewery in the Pajottenland, just outside Brussels, where lambic, one of Belgium’s most distinctive traditional beer styles, has deep roots. Here, lambic brewing, the surrounding countryside and hospitality come together in one location.
Set on a historic farmstead in Huizingen, Boerenerf offers a characterful setting for corporate events, private gatherings and group visits. The site combines indoor spaces with a large outdoor area, including gardens and terraces, making it possible to adapt the setup to the type of event and the time of year.
For companies, Boerenerf can host a range of formats, from smaller meetings and workshops to team events, networking gatherings, receptions and larger group activities. The spaces can be arranged in different ways, with both seated and standing formats possible. Catering can be organised according to the event, working with external partners and allowing for different types of menus and service.
What makes Boerenerf particularly suited to group events is the possibility of combining the venue with an experience. Groups can discover the farm through a guided visit, followed by a tasting of selected beers. The tour introduces guests to the history of lambic and its production and ageing process, while also giving them an opportunity to explore the surroundings of the farm.
The tour and tasting programme is available for groups of 10 or more, with additional guides provided for larger numbers. It is offered in Dutch, French and English. The site is also accessible to people with reduced mobility and provides parking for both cars and buses, making it suitable for organised group visits.
The venue also lends itself to private events, receptions and informal gatherings. The combination of the farm setting, outdoor space, bar and barrel room allows the atmosphere and layout to be adapted to the occasion. Depending on the format, the event can remain centred around food and drinks, or include a guided visit and tasting.
Rather than offering one fixed package, Boerenerf aims to build each event around the needs of the group. A company can therefore combine the venue, catering, drinks and tour in different ways, whether the goal is a meeting followed by a tasting, a team event in the countryside, a reception or a group visit.
The result is a venue that combines the character of a traditional farm brewery with the flexibility needed to create different types of events and group experiences.
