Senne Brewery 'Expected' to Launch By Christmas.

My article in the latest issue of DRAFT says that brewers Yvan De Baets and Bernard Leboucq expected to launch their Brasserie de la Senne in November. Because that was all true when it went to press. Magazines go to press very early, by the way.

So I feel the need to offer yet another update. The latest: "We are working day and night to get ready to make our first brew as soon as possible," Yvan said in an e-mail last night. "The first test will be made within two weeks!"

So... December 20 or so. Maybe.

Yvan also sent the most complete-looking shot of the brewhouse I've seen yet. And there it is.
