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 golden colour, firm white head. Fruity aroma, apple, apple core, hops, malts, light yeast. Sweet flavour, malts, lots of apple, light bitter. Quite light body, lots of CO2. Finish apple, quite fresh.
Reminding me a lot of Apfelschorle, but slightly bitter. I like Apfelschorle, though it doesnβt have much to do with beer.

2/II/13 - 33cl bottle from Biernavigatie (webshop, NL) @ home - BB: n/a (no markings on the side of the bottle to indicate the date on the preprinted numbers) (2013-127)
Clear blond to light orange beer, small irregular off-white head, unstable, non adhesive. Aroma: chloride, fruity, bit spicy, cloves, lots of swimming pool. MF: soft carbon, light body. Taste: very soapy, chloride, unpleasant bitterness, little fruity. Aftertaste: apple skin, pretty bitter but not the good kind of bitterness. Seriously, drain pour because I was afraid they left some cleaning product in the tank and bottled it as well. If I die any time soon, please let my wife know it's probably because of this beer...

33cl bottle @ home shared with Thompson. Hazy pale yellow color, huge fairly quickly diminishing white head that leaves a fair lacing. Smell fruits, sweetness and candy. Taste lightly malts, some fruits, a slight fruitpeel-bitterness and lightly sweet. A bit fizzy carbonation, low to medium body. Not a success imo.

Bottle shared with Deanso on a train. Is this rail soda? The aroma is clearly bitter and fruity. The flavour is fruity rich and a little alcoholic but its short-lived. Quite drinkable. Won't win any prizes
