Description
De brouwerij is begonnen als stichting Breugems Brouwerij, en werd opgericht in 2007 door Patrick Breugem en Court-Jan van Beek. Hun voornemen was om een "sociale brouwerij" te openen, waarbij mensen met een beperking aan werk werden geholpen. In 2010 werd de brouwinstallatie geplaatst en kon het brouwen beginnen. In 2013 ging de brouwerij failliet. Na een doorstart in datzelfde jaar ging de brouwerij verder als brouwerijhuurder onder de naam Brouwerij Breugem. Brouwerij Breugem brouwt zijn bieren bij Brouwerij Hoop aan de Lagedijk in Zaandijk.

In April/May 2021 Brouwerij Breugem ended its relationship with Brouwerij Hoop and moved to a new location back in Zaandam. A re-branding was implemented in October 2021, and a number of beers were given new names. Breugem Brewery will also continue as Breugem Bier. For the past few years, Breugem has been a client brewer at Brouwerij Jopen in Haarlem.

In 2023, Brouwerij De Prael Amsterdam Houthavens was taken over, making the dream of having its own brewery and tasting room come true. Part of the production continues to be brewed at Jopen Bier.

330ml bottle. Cloudy, dark amber colour with small, creamy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, off-white head. Sweet-ish malty and phenolic, minimally fruity aroma, a touch of rotting yellow stone fruit, some alcohol. Taste is bitter hoppy, slightly grainy, pale malty with very low residual sweetness, slightly alcoholic, minimally phenolic, a touch of muesli; slightly warming, alcoholic finish.
Dissolved sugar enriched, watery texture, indifferent palate, medium to fine, mildly prickly carbonation..
Disharmonious, unbalanced, alcoholic, fermented muesli - hardly palatable.

Malty, roasted taste with notes of chocolate, coffee, dark bread and a balanced roasty bitterness. Almost full body, with a touch of sweetness. Straight-forward and well balanced stout. Nice one.

Sample from bottle during a 'bierproeverij' at Remko's place. Didn't take any notes, just enjoyed good beers and good company. Ok Tripel, not as sweet as a lot of other Tripels are, fortunately.

Bottle shared at work. Huh, the spicing is quite daring, it’s not great yet it works in a weird, twisted way. Wouldnt drink it again probably, but didnt hate it completely either.
