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.

Can. Golden pour. Aroma of creamy pineapple, orange, onion hop, oat and mango. Taste has juicy mango, oat, pineapple, orange, citrus and bready malt. All the usual flavors, nothing stands out really, but it's well executed.

330ml bottle with a coal black neck bought at Vinmonopolet Langnes. Jet black body, slowly diminishing fawn-coloured head, spotty lacing. Large sediments to the last pour. Promising roasted smell of black malts, oatmeal, and dried fruits. Black chocolate malty flavours, hints of dark fruits and ash, lightly peated. Oak vanilla with a whisky touch towards the ending. Okay night cap qualities without further excitements. (Tromsø 25.07.2020).
