About
The founder of this brewery is Louis Klaassens, owner of Café De Klep. From the very beginning, Louis's ambition was to open a "high-profile and successful city brewery" in Venlo. Initially, it was called Stadsbrouwerij Klaassens, which in 2018 became Stadsbrouwerij De Klep, and in 2022, Brouwerij De Klep.

Until 2022, the beers were primarily brewed at Brouwerij De Fontein. Initially, this was around 300 liters per batch, but in 2018, it increased to 1000 liters per batch.

On June 1, 2022, a dedicated brewing system was put into operation, and the brewery was established in the MOUT food hall in Venlo: the dream of having our own brewery was finally realized!

The brewery was closed in May 2026.

7 3 7 3 15Bottle at De Paas featuring a really nice label of a happy knight along with an admiral drinking beer. I can’t help but feel a connection, it’s a Friday afternoon after work, I have a beer and am feeling pretty damn good about that too. The beer itself is a clear dark amber with a cream coloured head. Aroma of caramel, malt, yeast and overripe dark fruits. Flavour is moderate sweet and bitter. Medium bodied with light carbonation. Like the label, it makes me happy enough.

0.3 l on tap at 'De Klep'. Hazy, golden yellow with a thin, foamy, slowly diminishing, white head. Sweetish, gently fruity, slightly floral and a little yeasty-spicy aroma of lemon peel, coriander, clove and some banana. Slightly sweet, minimally bitter, fruity-floral and a bit yeasty-spicy taste of lemon peel, coriander, some clove and a touch of vanilla, followed by a short, minimally bitter, slightly yeasty-spicy finish. Thin to medium body, smooth and slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Decent Wit.

0.33 l bottle from ’Hejo Slijterij’, best before February 2018. Clear, very dark red with a medium large, frothy, slowly diminishing, off-white head. Sweetish-malty, moderately yeasty-spicy and slightly fruity aroma of raisins, prunes, caramel and a touch of clove. Moderately sweet, malty, quite yeasty-spicy and slightly fruity taste of caramel, dark honey, raisins, prunes and some clove, followed by a short, moderately bitter, yeasty-spicy finish. Medium body, fairly effervescent mouthfeel, average to lively carbonation. Very tame Dubbel, quite inoffensive but well-drinkable.

Bottle 75 cl. Pours a hazy golden with tiny floating impurities and a dense white head. Yeasty, phenollic aroma. A rich, malty body, a little low in carbonation. Has a sweet fruitiness, but again the yeast and phenols overpowers turning this somewhat chemical. 261215
