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.

Clear deep amber brown colour, good frothy tan head, lasts for a while. Aroma roasted malt, candy sugar, caramel, fortified wine. Roasted taste, medium sweet and bitter, malty, caramel, toffee, grainy notes. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation, dry maltbitter aftertaste, rather harsh mouthfeel, okay.

33cl fles van Hoop. Licht wazig-gele kleur, witte kraag. Aroma van limoen, wat mout, zoetig. Smaakt als een friszoet strandpilsje met een vleugje limoen. Lichte body, meer smaak dan verwacht voor 3%.

On tap at Proeflokaal Arendsnest, pours a murky dark amber with a small beige head. Aroma is very fruity, with lots of toasted nuts, red fruits, caramel, and brown sugar. Flavour is fruity and nutty, with toasted nuts, caramel, and red berries. Much fruitier for a quad, with a nice nuttiness. Pretty solid really.

Interesting flavours but flavour may have been tarnished by Hops from other beers. Will try again.

75cl Bottle from Hoop. Slightly hazy golden colour, white head. Aroma of malts, some champagne yeast, dry, hint of apples, hint of grapes. Flavour follows, light earthy, not entirely clean, dry, soft bitterness. Light to medium bodied. Lacks flavour and body for an 8% ABV beer that's also presented as something special.
