Description
The history of the brewery begins in 1821, when Messrs Wauters, Faseert and Neyt founded the Halve Maan brewery in Hulst. The Hulsterse Brouwers persist in brewing top-fermented beer. Even when all other Dutch breweries brew Pilsener, traditional beer still flows from the kettles in Hulst. In 1968, the brewery in the city center of Hulst was closed and the cellar rights were sold to Paul Vermeersen, who before then was a distributor of Hulster beer.

In 1989, a new brewery was put into use on the Absdaalseweg. From 2010, the old brewery installation was thoroughly modernized. In 2016, the name “Beer Brewery Vermeersen” was adopted. The brewery is currently focusing on brewing beautifully balanced beers from, as far as possible, local ingredients for the Zeeland Market.

Bottle. Clear dark brown colour. Almost no head. The flavour is very thin and consists of mostly grain sourness. High carbonation. One-dimensional and boring.

(Bottle 30 cl) Courtesy of jbrus. Dark brown with an orange hue, floating impurities and a small, beige head. Somewhat burned caramel notes in the nose. Quite full-bodied with plenty of roasted malt and burned caramel notes. Very subdued bitterness. Quite surprised to see this labeled as a Belgian Strong, to me it appears to be a rather classical and lovely Doppelbock. 160907

Pale yellow in colour and only slightly cloudy. Fresh citrus aroma. Mild flavour of coriander and yeast. A bit thin and watery feeling but also very clean and refreshing.

Bottled. An unclear light yellow beer with a disappearing white head. The aroma is sweet citrusy with a light spicy note and so is the flavor, while the body is thin.
