In the framework of the Wal-Aid project funded by Wallonia aiming namely at developing valorisation means for co-products of the agro-food industry, a life cycle assessment applied to the production of an artisanal Belgian beer from the ‘ Brasserie des Legendes’ was carried out. This analysis focuses on the production of a golden triple beer on comparing the packaging in glass bottle or in keg. Six steps are considered for the analysis: (1) culture of barley, malting, grinding and transport to the brewery; (2) brewing of malt flour and water in two steps; (3) boiling wort; (4) guard of the beer at 4°C during 25 days; (5) packaging in brown glass bottle of 33 cl with a crown cap chrome steel or in stainless steel keg of 20 l and then (6) washing of spent grain recovered after brewing. The functional unit is taken as the production of 1 litre of beer. Environmental impacts have been evaluated using the ReCiPe 2008 method with the endpoint hierarchist perspective. Four packaging scenarios are compared: single use bottle and keg, reused bottle (average 9.2 times) and keg (average 53.5 times). The results show that the most penalizing step is packaging, for single use scenarios, contributing to 86 % of the environmental impact for the keg and 72 % for the bottle. For the reuse scenarios, it’s the culture of barley which is the most penalizing step with contribution between 57 % and 70 %. The production of beer remains low with maximum 20 % of contribution. The standardization and single score results show that the most important impacts are fossil depletion and climate change human health due to the energy demand related to the packaging step. These impacts decrease with the reuse of packaging and the keg reused represents the best solution.
