The workshop in detail
Become the master brewer of your own flavours!
For 3 hours, you'll have the opportunity to brew your own kefir or ginger beer recipe.
Upon your arrival, you'll be invited to explore the workshop. Adrien and Mary will start with a theoretical introduction to fermentation, explaining the fundamental principles and various methods used.
Once the basics of fermentation are explained, it'll be time to let your inspirations flow to create your own recipe! You'll be guided in selecting the ingredients to craft a balanced and flavourful recipe based on your preferences. Whether you prefer a tangy or fruity drink, anything is possible!
And now, it's time to take action! You'll get to work weighing and mixing the different ingredients. You can use kefir grains, water, lemon, elderflowers, ginger, and more.
After mixing the ingredients, your beverage will be ready to enter the fermentation process.
During the workshop, tastings are a must! You'll have the chance to savour the kefirs prepared by the brewers, exploring the range of possibilities offered by these fermented beverages.
At the end of the workshop, you'll depart with your personalised, wholesome, and organic kefir or ginger beer, ready to delight your taste buds.

Meet Mary
Brewer
Mary and Adrien embarked on their beverage journey as winemakers in Bordeaux, where they honed their craft for five years.
In February 2019, this dynamic duo decided to leave Bordeaux and venture into the world of brewing. They transported all their brand-new brewing equipment and set up shop in Belgium, their home country.
By the end of that same year, Mary woke up with a game-changing idea: "What if we launched our fruit kefir recipe we've been working on for two years? We already have all the equipment in our brewery." And so, the time had come to bring this idea to life, but not just any kefir! Mary and Adrien were aiming for an organic, sugar-free kefir.
In January 2020, the passionate pair launched their first kefir, and since then, they've expanded their range to offer six different flavours. Despite this, they haven't forgotten their love for beer. They've created a kefir beer and continue to brew other beers.
Their fruit kefir is made from small grains fermenting in water. These grains feed on the sugars in the water to create a slightly fizzy and subtly acidic beverage. The sugars are entirely transformed, giving the drink renowned probiotic properties. Fruit kefir is truly a "super beverage": rich in vitamins, probiotics, and beneficial for gut health and the immune system.
While the fermentation process remains traditional, the brewers choose to ferment their fruit kefir in stoneware jars. They also have fun with the different flavours and tastes of the kefirs, offering each recipe as a perfect alternative to a glass of wine, beer, or soda.
Sharing is also at the core of their motivations. They enjoy passing on their expertise and sharing the love of good products. Their goal is to provide education about brewing and create moments of conviviality.
To represent the purity of their product, the two brewers chose the "shuǐ," a Chinese symbol for water and life, as the logo for their brand.
Their workshop is located in Lasne, nestled in the heart of a green environment. It's in this idyllic setting that Mary and Adrien warmly welcome you with a smile for brewing workshops.
