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.

Thin fruit beer, with a mild taste of orange juice. More orange lemonade than a beer actually.

Better than the normal Gozer, has more body thanks to the aging. The oatmeal stout goes well with the warming sweetness of the rhum. Good one.
