Tipsy Tribe **© Hannah Casier** | Tipsy Tribe As the latest brewery with a taproom regularly open for everyone, **_Tipsy Tribe Brewery & Distillery_** was due a blog post for quite a while already. We finally made it to the inconspicuous garage door in Koekelberg, with behind it the sometimes very alcoholic—but tasty—results of Daniel and Aylin’s labour of love! * * * We specified “very alcoholic”, because _Tipsy Tribe_ isn’t just a brewery, but a distillery as well. It’s actually the only distillery in Brussels actually making their spirits from scratch! Dan brews the ‘wash’—which basically is a simple beer without hops—just like he brews his beers and in the same kettles, and as much as possible from locally sourced grains. He then distills the wash in the solar powered, beautiful and impressive copper still, to become gin, vodka, liqueur, or even whiskey! Yes indeed: there are some oak barrels patiently waiting, filled up with a spirit that may soon be served as the first real Brussels whiskey! ### Taproom Quiz As much as we like a whiskey, it’s the beer that drew us in! The taproom is on Thursday open until seven—unless there’s a ‘pub’ quiz or a _Mario Kart_ championship, then they’re open a bit later—and on Friday and Saturday until nine, so you can perfectly start your weekend shenanigans at _Tipsy Tribe_. There are usually four of their beers available on draught, and everything else they currently have on bottle. Not surprising considering Dan’s American heritage, quite a few of those beers are hoppy IPAs, but German styles like _Kölsch_ style beers and _Helles_ , also feature prominently. And you may have already tasted their crisp rice lager _Horang-i_ at _Seoul South Station_ , the Korean fried chicken place we featured on the blog earlier! This wonderful Koekelberg brewery—if you hadn’t guessed yet from the very recognisable basilica heavily featuring in their label designs—is just a couple of minutes from Simonis metro station, so don’t hesitate to drop by at _Tipsy Tribe_ to kick off your Friday or Saturday evening with Dan and Aylin! * * * ## tl;dr ### Beers * Four of their own beers on draught * The rest of their current line-up in bottle ### Bites * Maybe some crisps? **Tipsy Tribe Brewery & Distillery **Jetsesteenweg 374 Chaussée de Jette 1081 Koekelberg Website - Facebook - Instagram ### _What have people been drinking here recently?_ * Rieme Hofman is drinking a Goth At Heart at Tipsy Tribe Source: Tipsy Tribe Date: 2026-01-17 By [email protected] * Rieme Hofman is drinking a Swim To the Moon at Tipsy Tribe Source: Tipsy Tribe Date: 2026-01-17 By [email protected] * Rieme Hofman is drinking a Kicho at Tipsy Tribe Source: Tipsy Tribe Date: 2026-01-17 By [email protected] * Rieme Hofman is drinking a Chaotique at Tipsy Tribe Source: Tipsy Tribe Date: 2026-01-17 By [email protected] * Martijn K is drinking a Kicho at Tipsy Tribe Source: Tipsy Tribe Date: 2026-01-15 By [email protected] * Hannah Casier is drinking a Chaotique at Tipsy Tribe Source: Tipsy Tribe Date: 2026-01-15 By [email protected] * Martijn K is drinking a Goth At Heart at Tipsy Tribe Source: Tipsy Tribe Date: 2026-01-15 By [email protected] * Hannah Casier is drinking a Goth At Heart at Tipsy Tribe Source: Tipsy Tribe Date: 2026-01-15 By [email protected] * Hannah Casier is drinking a Desita at Tipsy Tribe Source: Tipsy Tribe Date: 2026-01-15 By [email protected] * Martijn K is drinking a Desita at Tipsy Tribe Source: Tipsy Tribe Date: 2026-01-15 By [email protected] * Martijn K is drinking a Goth At Heart at Tipsy Tribe Source: Tipsy Tribe Date: 2026-01-15 By [email protected] * Hugue Lebel is drinking a Swim To the Moon at Tipsy Tribe Source: Tipsy Tribe Date: 2025-12-15 By [email protected] * Mickey Shteinberg is drinking a Goth At Heart at Tipsy Tribe Source: Tipsy Tribe Date: 2025-12-13 By [email protected] * Peter is drinking a Kicho at Tipsy Tribe Source: Tipsy Tribe Date: 2025-11-14 By [email protected] * Peter is drinking a Chaotique at Tipsy Tribe Source: Tipsy Tribe Date: 2025-11-14 By [email protected] ### Share this: * Click to share on Mastodon (Opens in new window) Mastodon * Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook * Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window) LinkedIn * Click to email a link to a friend (Opens in new window) Email * More * * Click to share on Reddit (Opens in new window) Reddit * Click to share on X (Opens in new window) X * Click to share on Pinterest (Opens in new window) Pinterest * Click to share on Pocket (Opens in new window) Pocket * Click to share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window) WhatsApp * Click to share on Telegram (Opens in new window) Telegram * ### Like this: Like Loading... https://beersbites.brussels/tipsy-tribe/
