Made Blue
A brewery consumes a lot of drinking water to brew one litre of beer. Drinking water isn’t readily available everywhere in the world. That’s why vandeStreek makes sure that for every liter of bottled beer, one liter of clean drinking water is made available in developing countries.

“
1 litre beer = 1 litre water
“For every litre of bottled beer, we donate one litre of clean drinking water. This way, we ensure that satisfaction here makes a difference elsewhere.”

About vandeStreek Bier
VandeStreek is everything but ordinary
This Utrecht-based brewery is known for its unique specialty beers, full of flavor and without compromise. From alcohol-free bangers to thick IPAs: every beer that comes out of the kettles here is a creative outburst from two brothers with a mission — to make beer more fun, more exciting, and above all, tastier.
What started as a hobby in a student dorm room has grown into a nationally renowned brewery with an international reach.


Sustainable brewing
At vandeStreek, sustainability goes beyond the label. The brewery is actively committed to reducing its footprint — with smart choices at every step of the brewing process. Four beers in the core range are organically brewed and SKAL certified.
Heat is recovered and reused during the brewing process, while only 4 to 4.5 litres of water are needed to make one litre of beer — far less than the 6 to 10 litres typical used by most craft brewers.
Nitrogen is extracted directly from the air, eliminating the need for gas deliveries. Packaging is also smartly optimized through bulk malt silos, which reduce plastic sack use by 95%.
Good beer that does good
Sustainable choices go beyond brewing.
All deliveries in and around Utrecht are made with an electric van, and all kegs are metal and therefore reusable. The cans are lightweight and fully recyclable.





One litre for one litre
In our program One litre for one litre you can convert the water saving or water consumption of your product, service or organization into an equal amount of litres of clean drinking water in developing countries. Choosing a selection of customers or donating more litres is also an option. Transparency is paramount and we are happy to help you communicate about it!
