Description
Founder Tsjomme Zijlstra's idea to start his own brewery came to him after his time in England. He started to brew his own beer at home and decided in 2014 that he wanted go bigger. He met Menno and John, owners of Brouwerij de Molen in Bodegraven, and told them his story. They taught him how to brew with one of their old brewing installations. Kaapse Brouwers was born.

We are Kaapse Brouwers. We are the brewers who introduced craft beer to Rotterdam, and Rotterdam to the world. With our Kaapse recipes we brew non-conformist beers. We choose for bold recipes and love to experiment with different flavors to create contemporary craft beers.

Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.

Decent example of the style. Comes across a but stale-like oxidized in the sharp bitterness for me. Doesn’t have the less pokey feel of the classicis. Arendsnest ams

Can. Clear golden. Quite malty, crisp floral hops, pomegranate, apple, light bitter herbs and a bit of paper. Light sweet and bitter. Just medium bodied, nice crisp feel. Not amazing, and it's a bit light, but it's crisp and drinkeable.
