Afternoon cocoon

Rooted in Brussels

Our inspiration comes from what’s around us from the people, producers, and neighborhoods that make Brussels taste like nowhere else. Every coffee bean, every loaf, every beer we pour comes from partners we know, trust, and love working with.

Our Local Partners

Proudly working
with local makers

Flora Brussels

Our beers

Flora Brussels reinvents craft beer by infusing flowers into every brew : a bold local brand blooming at the intersection of nature and flavor. Proud to have bringing color and creativity to every pour.

Brussels Beer Project

Our beers

BBP is a collaborative project with the aim to bring experimentation, collaboration & impact to the next level. Brussels can’t be just a museum of beer, representing its past. It should shape the present & future of brewing. Leave the abbey, join the playground!

Brasserie Surréaliste

Our beers

Brasserie Surréaliste is a Brussels micro-brewery founded in 2019
by two brothers listening to their dreams. The vision behind the project is to escape reality and make people dream again. Faithful to the emerging craft scene values, the young brewery capitalizes on Belgian know-how but above all praises creativity.

Got something to share?

We love meeting new people with great ideas, whether you’re a local producer, musician, artist, or collective. Half & Half is all about collaboration. From showcasing your products to bringing our evenings to life, we’re open to creative projects that fit the vibe

Part of the BX. Downtown

Half & Half may be tucked under BX Downtown Hostel, but it has a world of its own. We share the same energy. 

Come stay upstairs, eat downstairs, and feel the same heartbeat that connects them both.
