Brouwerij Kees
Microbrewery
in Middelburg,
Zeeland,
Netherlands 🇳🇱
Associated Venue: Brouwerij Kees
Established in 2015
Owner and brewer Kees Bubberman started his brewing career in 2007 at Emelisse, a small regional brewery in Kamperland, Zeeland. Within a couple of years Emelisse became a household name among craft breweries worldwide, thanks to the by British and American beer styles inspired ales, IPA's, strong porters, stouts that Kees Bubberman brewed. Never afraid of trying something new and relying on his experience as a restaurant chef he created more than 30 new beers, including an IPA with Earl Grey tea, barrel aged porters en stouts and strong porters and stouts with coffee. Kees was ahead of his time with experimental flavours like these.
In 2014 Kees Bubberman decided to start his own brewery in his hometown Middelburg. Thankful for the opportunities Emelisse gave him, he felt that it was time to go his own way. Brewery Kees! started in January 2015 and within a year his delicious IPA's, strong porters, Russian Imperial stouts and barrel aged barley wines, porters en stouts found their way in the (beer-)world.
Kees keeps on creating new beers and searching for new tastes, sometimes following and sometimes setting trends.

Can from Drankenhandel Leiden. Good but fairly standard Quadrupel, not that woody actually. 🤷🏼♂️ Sweet malt with caramel, spicy yeast, dried fruit, candy sugar, raisins. Medium sweet flavour. Elegant.

Can at home shared with Laura. Opaque unclear brown color, small off-white to beige head. Aroma and flavor are malts, caramalts, wood I guess? Although I wouldn't have said that if it hadn't been on the label. I'd say I get a touch of raisins before I'd say wood infused notes. Solid beer.

Can at home. Opaque black color, full sized brown colored head. Aroma is malts, dark malts, soft coffee notes. Flavor is malts, roast, some iron, dark malts, nicely bitter. Lovely. A straightforward RIS that's simply just good. In a world of adjuct stouts this is a sigh of relief and joy. Delicious.

Not a cardoche pour les mioches, this one is powerful and for me it means more an imperial stout that an export porter, warm alcohol, subtle, a bomb of aromas in your mouth with roasted malt, coffee, delightful note of cacao, chocolate, hop, 12.01.21
