Description
Mijn naam is Jelle, Jelster voor vrienden. Bierdrinker en speciaalbier liefhebber sinds pak ‘m beet 1993. Na een paar decennia veldonderzoek heb ik in 2020 de sprong gewaagd van hobbybrouwer naar commerciële brouwerij met een eigen webshop.

Het Nederlandse bierlandschap kent veel verschillende soorten bier en bij elk moment past weer een ander biertje. Daarom experimenteer ik met diverse ingrediënten en verschillende bierstijlen. Variërend van doordrinkbare kouwe kletsers tot complexere bieren om een avondje rustig op te kauwen.

In mijn Rotterdamse brouwerij brouw ik craft beer met veel zorg en plezier. Op kleine schaal zodat elke fles de aandacht krijgt die het verdient. Handmatig bottelen, etiketten plakken, hier en daar een streling en lieve woordjes fluisteren. Dat proef je!
