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.

Draft @ Kaapse festival. Black pour. Aroma is mostly peat and roasted malt. Taste is very peaty, with coffee, roasted malt, smoke and some moccha. I quite liked it, but you have to like peat to enjoy this one.

Sampled draft @ “Kaapse Brouwers 1st Anniversary Beer Festival”. Dark amber, little tanned head. Nose is bitter pine resin goo with light cough syrup. Taste is herbal, pine resin hops, oddly mixed with some brown sugar, candy & tad cough syrup, sweetish, herbal bitter on top. Malty body. Not really the right balance. Decent.
