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.

0.33 l can from 'Rebelbeercans'. A bit hazy, deep reddish amber with a medium large, frothy, slowly diminishing, off-white head. Sweetish-malty, gently smoky, slightly fruity-resiny aroma of caramel, orange jam, pine and a touch of smoked ham. Quite sweet, malty, moderately bitter, gently fruity-resiny and slightly smoky taste of caramel, smoked ham, pine, honey and orange jam, followed by a short, gently bitter finish. Medium to full body, smooth and slightly creamy mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Interesting beer, rather piney than smoky, rather americanised.
