Description
Client brewer in 2012-2013, microbrewing since 2014.

De brouwerij is gestart in mei 2013. In november 2015 kreeg brouwer Jan Kraan van de gemeente toestemming om zijn kleinschalige brouwerij en winkel binnen Bodegraven te verplaatsen van de Overtocht naar de Oud Bodegraafseweg. Uiteindelijk werd deze verhuizing afgeblazen en bleef de brouwerij gevestigd op de Overtocht. In 2017 werd op die locatie iedere twee weken 200 liter bier gebrouwen (ongeveer 50 hl per jaar).

In mei 2021 verhuisde Jan Kraan naar Rekken. Daarmee verhuisde ook de brouwerij van de provincie Zuid-Holland naar de provincie Gelderland. Sinds de verhuizing wordt er alleen nog maar gebrouwen voor de eigen camping Ont Moeten. In 2023 werd er 4.000 liter bier gebrouwen.

Bottle @ home. Hazy pale yellow color, full sized white to off-white head that lasts for a decent while. Smell and taste malts, lightly sweet, yeast. I had expected some herbs or spices and I suspect it’s in the there somewhere but I doubt whether I really taste it. Medium body and carbonation. Hmm, better than expected.

33cl Bottle from Speciaalbierwinkel Bodegraven. Brewed at NHB. Hazy golden colour, thin white head. Aroma of banana, yeast, quite sweet, some plastic, clove. Flavour is similar, lots of sweet banana and clove, like a strong Weizen, yeasty bitterness, hint of plastic, some alcohol. Slick, medium bodied. Not great, but easy drinking, albeit a bit on the sweet side.
