About
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 golden colour, lot of activity, good frothy slightly off-white head, good retention and heavy lacing. Shy aroma, malts, grain, grass. Taste medium sweet and bitter, toasted malts, caramel, bready, spicy notes. Malty sweetbitter aftertaste, burnt sugar, herbal notes. Medium body, oily texture, average carbonation, not that well-balanced and too toasted, but okay.

Bottle. Color: Ruby, off-white head. Aroma: Floral hop. Taste: Light roasted malt with quite strong floral and grassy hopbitterness. Notes of citrus hops. Hints of grapefruit and coffee. Hopbitterness gets stronger at finish. Medium body, average carbonation. In this black IPA the hopbitterness clearly wins from the ‘dark side’. Quite nice though. --- Beer aliased from original tick of Dark IPA on 10 Apr 2018 at 19:07 - Score: Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 7.5.
