Huyghe Brewery, founded in 1906 in Melle, Belgium, is famed for Delirium beers and its iconic pink elephant, with a strong focus on sustainability.
In June 2024, the brewery has announced a significant €50 million investment plan aimed at enhancing both growth and sustainability. Key initiatives include the construction of the Delirium Experience Center, an interactive facility designed to boost beer tourism and share Belgian beer culture with visitors.
Huyghe Brewery’s sustainability efforts are extensive and innovative. The new bottling and canning lines reduce transportation needs and their associated carbon footprint. Additionally, substantial investments in renewable energy, such as solar panels and a biogas-powered combined heat and power (CHP) plant, enable the brewery to produce a significant portion of its energy on-site. These initiatives, combined with advanced water management practices and a CO2 recovery plant, highlight Huyghe Brewery’s dedication to environmental stewardship.
The brewery’s commitment to sustainable practices ensures that their exceptional beers, including the beloved Delirium Tremens, are produced with the utmost care for the environment, blending traditional Belgian brewing techniques with modern ecological innovations.
