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.

330ml bottle from Saveur-Biere.fr. Pours a slick black with brief tan head. Roasted malts and liquorice aroma. Concentrated liquorice in the taste with oak barrel hiding at the back and rum emerging as the glass warms. Compelling, but a touch too heavy and thick tasting for me.

On tap at Patricks. An golden colored, lightly unclear beer with a fingerthick white head leaving curtains. It’s spiced on the nose, ginger and cardamom, with fruityness and some yeasty hints. Pale malts. There’s a decent bitterness in the flavor, along with the fruityness and spice hints known from the aroma. It’s full- to medium-bodied, semi-dry and a bit heavy on the carbonation. Long finish. A decent beer, but not very saison-ish I think. 150502
