Description
We have been brewing beer for beer lovers since 1994. The brewery was founded in the city of Bergen op Zoom (The Netherlands) which is situated at the banks of the Eastern Scheldt (Dutch: Oosterschelde). In 2008 the brewery moved to the city of Hoogstraten in Antwerp Province, just across the Belgian border with The Netherlands. There we continued to brew well balanced beers, classic Belgian with a modern touch. Many characteristics still refer to our birthplace. Our mascot the crab is also the mascot of Bergen op Zoom and the two so called ‘wild men’ are shown in the flag and coat of arms of the city since 1622. These wild men are still shown on all our labels, portraying the different beer names.

Every sip of Scheldebeer has been brewed in our own brewery, build with love and care. We are ambitious brewers who prefer craft beers with a sense of the past and a taste of the present. True to traditions but always looking for an exciting balance between nostalgic and new, modest and daring. Our beers are unfiltered, unpasteurized and have bottle refermentation. Besides from all the natural ingredients we hope you'll taste patience and devotion in all the flavours. Cheers!

Hazy nut brown, firm creamy off-white head. Aroma is quite unique: rye bread, barley, even wheat. Light to medium-bodied. Dry but also sweet, unbalanced artificial fruit flavors.

Draught Greenish shine trough golden-amber beer; some off-white head. Coriander, and lots of it in the nose. Some seaweed nose as well. Coriander, again, too much, and a pinch of salt at the end. The rest is SWEET. Sticky MF, light to medium body. Spicey aftertaste. Not that good. They make MUCH better; in fact, I’m sure I had this "Zeezuiper" better - from the bottle.

A beer somewhere between orange and amber in color with a beige head. The aroma is strong of black currant and is quite sweet. The flavor is malty, slightly sour and with loads of black currant, and maybe some notes of wood. The end is sweet, somewhat alcohol, and dry. The mouthfeel is very smooth.

An orange beer with a fine white head. The aroma is very yeasty for a pilsener - as if it has been topfermented, but quite pleasant. The flavor is a boring malt flavor, but with an OK bitterness. The body is thin.
