Description
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.

330ml bottle. Cloudy, orange golden colour with minimally late awakening, small to average, frothy to creamy, half-way lasting, barely lacing, white head. Wheaty malty and slightly yeasty fruity aroma, hints of banana and yellow apple. Taste is sweet-ish, minimally bready, wheaty malty, slightly zesty, citrusy fruity and mildly spicy, hints of orange peel, coriander, a touch of white bread crust, some banana, a touch of honey covered cereals, apricot. Watery texture, slightly dry palate, medium, mildly prickly carbonation. Really good taste with quite some subtleties, sadly rather watery and cautious - enjoyable nevertheless.
