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!

(Bottle 33 cl) Suppose chestnut coloured is the closest you come to describing this. Chestnut with an orange glow and a small, beige head. Hazy with a bottle sediment. Vinous aroma with notes of almonds and raisins. Very complex taste with notes of dried fruits - raisins in particular. It also has touches of delicate desert wine and marzipan. Incredibly lovely - this really is my kinda beer. 230805

(Bottle 33 cl) Beautiful, dark amber with lots of floating impurities. Small, creamy, off-white head which never collapses completely. Fruity nose with pronounced notes of coriander and yeast. Lightly perfumy flavour (coriander again) with lots of soft malt. Distinct bitter hops in the finish. Quite typical Tripel. 110805

(Bottle 33 cl) Dark and almost muddily unclear, brownish head with lots of impurities. Very complex from lots of good quality ingredients. Heavy and aromatic, almost vinous in it’s approach. Vinous in the direction of sweet desert wines like port, madeira etc. And has some Trappist touches also. Great beer. 260804

(Bottle 33 cl) Slightly hazy, pale golden ale with a dense, tall head. Malty but not very sweet in spite of the added candy sugar. A touch of sourness. Almost Tripelish.

(Bottle 33 cl) Amber golden and very unclear, lots of floaties, with a thick, creamy and quite retentive head. Sweetish, fruity nose. Lots of sweet caramel malt pretty much balanced by a dry, bitter hopping. 280705

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 clear orange beer with a nice dense white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of flowers and caramel. The flavor is very spicy and flowery as well as strong notes of yeast.
