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.

Draft. A deep red beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma is very sweet and quite spicy with notes of cinnamon and cloves, but also with hints of berries. The flavor is sweet and very spicy - again cinnamon and cloves, but also with notes of wood and herbs.

(Bottle 30 cl) Pours a clear, orangey brown with a neat, beige head leaving a broad rim of laces. Aroma of roasted malt and dried fruits. Rather full-bodied with loads of roasted malt, notes of dried fruit and an almost vinous edge - sort of desert wine style. Lightly hoppy finish. Very pleasant and classical Dutch Bock. 171006

[Bottled at Monk’s Café, Stockholm] Hazy dark brown, minimal head. Fruity with a wealth of nutty malt and fairly loft mouthfeel. Light lysalty, dominated by malt with butterscotch and caramel as most distinguishable flavours. Somewhat vinous finish. Improved incredibly as it warmed.

(bottle, traded with bierkoning) Slightly hazy ruby red-amber colour with a nice and stable foamy off-white head. Dusty sweet malty aroma with fruits (citrus, dates). Sweet flavour, medium to full body, smooth mouthfeel. Very sweet , but not unpleasant malty start with a developing fruitiness that lingers into the moderately bitter finish. Lecker !
