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 Beerdome. Woody with vanilla from the barrel, piney hop, orange, malt, oak, light booze. Fairly bitter with a mild sweetness. More barrel notes in the finish. Hmmm not a total loss but no magic either.

44cl Blik van Etre Gourmet. Zwarte kleur, beige kraag. Engelse drop, kaneel, gebrande mout, alcohol, in de smaak ook groene schimmel, muf, en als je het eenmaal proeft gaat het ook niet meer weg. Medium body. Jammer.

75cl bottle @ Benzai's Anti-Carnival Valentine's Day Tasting, Feb 26. Pours pretty much black, menacing dark tan head. First sip brings a palate coating cloak of dark malt, very nicely balanced and not too boozy given the strength, warming kick at the back of the throat.. straightforward tone but boosty
