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.

26 April 2022. At Hal 16 (Dok Brewing). Shared with the lovely Anke!

Clear dark amber, thin, off-white head. Aroma of raisin, date, ripe red apple, pear, wood, brandy. Taste has sweet apple & pear, sourish dried fruit undertone, going over a biscuity, slightly caramelly malt base. Herbal hoppy finish, more dried fruit, ripe apple and warming calvados alcohol. Medium to full body, oily texture, average carbonation. Full and satisfying boozy BW (or WW for that matter).
