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.

Bottle 33 cl. Courtesy of yespr. Pours a cloudy reddish amber with a small beige head. Sweet overripe dark fruit in the nose with some vanilla. Medium body, very subtle roast, more pruney. Gets a little roasty and ashy towards the finish with quite some hops. But the palest Stout I’ve encountered for a very long time! 230512

From tap at Wildeman. Pours hazy orange with a huge creamy and white head. Aroma is brewmashy and malty. Sweet malty, brewmashy and light fruity flavoured. Toasted malty and light caramelish finish. Somewhat unrefined/simplistic malty. Gains a more positive impression after a while.

Pours hazy yellow with a tiny white head. Strong aroma of sweet banana. Thankfully toned down in the flavour but a little watery with a metallic aspect in the background.

Bottle @ home, 8.1%. Clear dark brown color, short creamy head. Aroma of biscuit, coffee, milk chocolat, bit roasted. Soft sweet taste, creamy texture, moderate bitter taste. Again lots of chocolat. Wow, this stuff is seriously good! Not overly complex, but great balance between sweet and bitter with the shift on the sweet side.
