Norm Brewing

Norm Brewing was founded by Julien Germain and Martial Goffin, born from travels where we fell in love with taprooms and microbreweries offering an endless array of modern beers. True temples of innovation, where people and beer lovers can share and discover the brewery's personality. There's something else that captures our attention, another aspect that continues to fascinate us: art and design! Far removed from the traditional style we know in Belgium, we believe that the artwork and design tell a story behind each beer, making every brew unique and contributing to a more complex and enjoyable taste experience. These places and this modern spirit left an indelible impression, becoming the driving force behind Norm.

Our story began in 2018, like many in this industry, with friends, a cellar (the Germain family's blue cellar, which inspired our flagship Hazy Pale), a few tanks, and weekends of homebrewing!

We tried various beer styles such as lager, stout, gose, and Baltic porter, but IPAs quickly caught our attention. The aromatic complexity of the hops, the countless blending possibilities, and the regional character fascinated us.

The project was originally launched in 2020 under the name "Local Heroes," and we started by primarily brewing a flavorful but low-alcohol (5.5% ABV) pale ale. This was in contrast to the Belgian market for "specialty beers."

In 2022, we felt that the project had taken another step forward and decided to change our name and branding to “Norm Brewing”.

Today we brew different beers each month from our core, seasonal and limited range, which are distributed in various countries.
