=== Refurbishment ===

The old workshop of the warehouse has been refurbished, respecting the patrimonial nature of the building to accommodate a microbrewing facility integrated into the urban environment.

Improvements have been made, including the priority use of sustainable energy (solar panels) for brewing, recuperation of the heat generated from the brew process (including recuperating heat from water vapor which is both energy efficient and eliminates adverse smells in the environment), the building has been isolated to reduce the impact of noise and vibration, and the interior has been entirely renovated with new electricity and plumbing as well as brewery compatible floor and drains.

=== André & Jacqueline Taymans Fund / King Baudouin Foundation ===

The brewery supports social inclusion initiatives in favor of Brussels inner city youth. This double aim combines the life’s work of 2 past generations in the Taymans family: the grandfather Pierre Taymans who brewed his whole life and the parents André & Jacqueline who founded a fund to support citizen initiatives in Molenbeek promoting social inclusion.

To do this, a percentage of the net profit of the brewery is donated to the André & Jacqueline Taymans Fund and managed by the King Baudouin Foundation. This allows the fund to provide more generous financial support to projects for Brussels inner city communities such as sports and cultural projects that provide development possibilities and improve gender equality.
