Description
Our craft beers are contemporary yet rooted in history and inspired by classic types of beer. You can taste the history of prison town Veenhuizen in our beers. The Maallust beers are artisanal, authentic and brewed with only the very best ingredients. Whether it’s our hoppy blonde Weldoener or the treacherously smooth tripel Zware Jongen; Maallust beers are full of character.

Maallust was founded in 2011. It was initiated by a group of 25 entrepeneurs who call themselves the ‘Zware Jongens’ (Heavy Guys). They not only started brewing in Veenhuizen, they also revived the dilapidated Maallust complex. After a thorough renovation, the brewery opened its doors. Today, the Maallust complex looks marvelous, and its beer is available all throughout the Netherlands. Maallust is the perfect addition to a village with a unique history.

Bottle, 10%. Malt syrup aroma, dark bread, dark sugars. Very dark brown colour, seems hazy. Ok stable tan head. The flavour starts off quite sweet. A little hvidtøl, but of course with much more alcohol. Soft dark sugars. Some alcohol bitterness. Some hop bitterness. Mellow and creamy maltiness, but of course some bitter and slightly warming alcohol notes, too.
