World bottle project

During a personal transition and upcoming move, I found myself reflecting on change and new beginnings.

On the day of signing the papers, I received a bottle — a simple gesture, yet symbolic.

It sparked a thought:

What if a bottle could travel, gather stories, and return transformed by the places and people it meets?

That idea became the World Bottle Project.

What is the World Bottle Project?

Empty Debris Hills bottles travel across the world and are transformed by artists, bars , brewers and beer lovers.

Each creation reflects its origin — local culture, landscape, tradition, and personal expression.

When returned to Belgium, the bottles become part of a growing collection celebrating global creativity and farmhouse brewing heritage.
