Description
Friekens brouwt al jaren bijzondere bieren op kleine schaal. Ondanks de geringe hoeveelheden wist het bier van Friekens zich in de kijker te spelen doordat het getapt werd op (sub-)culturele festivals als Robodock, Jetlag en Paint & Beer. Inmiddels is de capaciteit van de brouwerij vertienvoudigd, en is Friekens bier klaar voor een breder publiek. Eerst op de ADM, later in Villa Friekens, een gekraakt industrieel complex aan de Landsmeerdijk in Amsterdam-Noord. Nadat Villa Friekens werd ontruimd en ‘herontwikkeld’ tot villawijk verhuisde de Friekens Brouwerij naar Sportpark De Melkweg in Tuindorp Oostzaan. Voorheen brouwde Friekens in een oude zeecontainer
