In the world of contract brewing, one factor stands above all: consistency. Whether you brew 12 or 200 hectoliters, your customers expect every bottle or can to taste exactly like the original recipe.
We brew, can and bottle your beer without limits.
Quality control, lab testing and certification – Our guarantee for your beer
01
Our guarantee for your beer
At Belgian Contract Brewery (BCB), we believe that quality is not a matter of chance, but the result of strict controls, high-tech lab testing, and recognized certifications. In this guide, you will discover how we ensure the production reliability of your beer brand.
02
The importance of an advanced quality laboratory
When you have your beer produced externally, you are handing over part of the process. This requires complete trust. To support that trust, BCB has a state-of-the-art quality laboratory.
We use advanced measuring instruments (such as those from Anton Paar) to monitor every step of the process. This laboratory is essential for:
- Flavor stability: We monitor the chemical composition of your beer so that batch 10 is identical to batch 1.
- Shelf life: By precisely measuring parameters such as dissolved oxygen (TPO), we ensure your beer stays fresh even after months on the shelf.
- Yeast management: Monitoring yeast vitality ensures a perfect and clean fermentation.
03
More than just beer: packaging control
Quality doesn’t stop at the liquid. Packaging is the only barrier between your product and the outside world. Especially when filling cans, technical precision is crucial.
At BCB, we pay special attention to the seam (the lid closure). A can that is not perfectly airtight loses carbonation and oxidizes very quickly. Using specialized measuring equipment, we control the mechanical quality of the seal down to the micrometer. This ensures a flawless product from the first drop to the last.
04
Brew with confidence: our certifications
Quality is also about transparency and meeting specific market requirements. Thanks to our recognized certifications, we offer you the opportunity to expand your target audience without needing to hold these certifications yourself.
- Organic certified: We can produce your organic recipes according to the strictest standards.
- Gluten-free: We have the processes in place to safely brew and package gluten-free beer.
- Kosher: For brands looking to expand internationally, we offer the possibility to produce under Kosher certification.
These certifications are not just “labels”; they prove that our entire production line meets the highest standards in terms of hygiene and traceability.
05
Production reliability: from recipe to final product
Why do brewers choose BCB’s quality approach? Because we act as your own quality manager. By combining human expertise (our brewmasters) with digital precision (our lab), we minimize production risks.
Whether it’s the reopening of the hospitality sector in September or managing a summer peak, you can rely on the fact that the capacity we offer always comes with an unwavering commitment to the technical quality of the beer.
