OPEN BREWERY FRIDAY — April 10th, 11h–17h
For one day, we’re opening the gates.
Come by for a spring visit to the brewery and take a look behind the scenes of what usually stays closed while we brew. Taste new flavours, say hi, linger for a moment, and take home your favourites.
Fresh bottles, new ideas, and a little glimpse into the world of BRON.
Most welcome.
Cheers

Proud, honoured and grateful to be part of the collective of Ambassadors of Goesting. A collective of culinary creators who together embody Flanders’ culinary culture.
@goestinginflanders
Together we aim to bring the hidden wealth of our gastronomy to life: from local produce and traditions to innovations. We come together to share knowledge and travel abroad individually or collectively to position Flanders as a top destination for foodies.
I look forward to be able to speak much more of our edible heritage, the wealth of nature and foraging, the alchemy of fermention, the ritual and dramaturgy of eating, what food does for our bodies and minds. And to make more crosspollinations with the talents in the team.
Check out all the ambassadors in the link in bio - all of them are the most passionate people, bringing forth produce and experiences you can’t miss out on as a resident, or a visitor.
(Big personal thanks to the people that trusted, supported, helped, cleaned up messes; to all the class attendees and clients. You know who you are, I will hug you even more next time. It took a village to raise a voice. 🙏🏼)
Hi everyone!
I am Natalie, the instigator and flavourist of @bron_botanicalfermentedtea .
My favourite way of getting to know the world and all things and beings in it, is through the senses - with smell, taste and touch first. Since my early childhood I wander around forest, fresh and seawater and new countries, on the search of scents and flavours that trigger memories, emotions.
Out of this love of the sensitive - in combination with the cerebral and the artistic - the two companies @elder_lab and @bron_botanicalfermentedtea were born. With BRON, our aspiration is to make non-alcoholic pairings that take you to places you had nearly forgotten. something intimate, introvert. a cabin in the mountains, a coastal breeze in Italy, drying hay in an August field.
Why don’t you come in, have a sneak peak in our lab. We normally work underground - in silence and concentration, but once in a blue moon you can visit us on open brewery days, and buy our limiteds and one offs.
Get a notice through our newsletter, or find the dates on our site.
Come say hi!

Thinking of decking the table for the festive season?
Pondering over how to make your dry January and/or February no challenge at all, but a daily ritual of self-care and flavour?
Maybe we can help you.

Voor wie ons nog niet (goed) kent:
BRON wordt gebrouwen in een ambachtelijke microbrouwerij in Antwerpen Noord. In onze labobrouwerij werken we aan een unieke botanische gefermenteerde thee met diepgang en zachte zuren, een volwassen smaakcomplexiteit zonder alcohol, op basis van een gewijzigde kombuchacultuur met hoogwaardige thees, kruiden, planten en specerijen.
Founder en flavourist Natalie van ELDER Lab staat aan het roer van het smaaklaboratorium, waar elk seizoen een reeks toegankelijke (collection) en meer avontuurlijke (selection) smaken worden bedacht, getest en geproefd tot ze geëvalueerd worden als gebalanceerd, spannend en tegelijk toegankelijk.
BRON wordt lokaal geproduceerd met ingrediënten bewust gekozen op basis van volgende kwaliteiten: hoogstaand, kleinschalig, duurzaam en sociaal geëngageerd.
We creëren avontuurlijke smaken voor genieters van het betere gastronomische leven. Zonder alcohol, boordevol smaakcomplexiteit.
