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.

That’s a crispy sharp perfectly balanced bitterness/roast black ipa. The rye is so mild. Just a good beer. Sterk ams

330ml can, as Kaapse Bertus, 10 % abv, bought at Vinmonopolet Langnes. Pours a dark ruby-brown body, low fawn-coloured head leaving spotty lacing on the glass. Inviting roasted brown malts on the nose, scent of earth and biscuit. Well blended taste of toffee, dried fruits, bread, and a light vibe of smoked malts. Roasted brown malty finish, lingering. Fine bodied. Very suitable sipper on a Friday afternoon. (Tromsø 27.08.2021).

330 ml can, at Grand Café-Restaurant Loos, Rotterdam. ABV is 4.5%. There is a picture of Karl Marx on the can. Deep golden to orange colour, large white head. Reasonably citric aroma and flavour, hints of passionfruit, on a background of sufficient malts. Refreshing. Went well with my chicken satay.
