JUSTE: Fair Trade beers

In 2019, Oxfam-Wereldwinkels / Oxfam Fair Trade launched the Fair Trade beers JUSTE. These beers are brewed by the Brasserie des Légendes in Ath with organicbarley and hops. Much of the barley is grown near the brewery.
Master brewer Pierre Delcoigne and his father select old varieties that do not require pesticides. The hops are also grown in Belgium. The beers therefore bear the label "Belgian hops". The beers also carry the "Fairtrade" label, because Belgian ingredients are combined with Fairtrade-certified ingredients: jasmine rice from Thailand, cocoa beans from Peru and quinoa from Bolivia.
