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.

On tap at De Kaapse, pours a deep dark amber with a medium beige head. Aroma brings out rich resinous hops and big bready caramel malt - smells bold for an amber. Flavour is rich and resinous, with big resinous hops, chewy caramel malts, and bready notes. Viscous and syrupy, a little too sweet. Decent.

33 cl. bottle @ home, bought @ Wijn&Verwonderen, Culemborg. Hazy brown with a minimal white head. Heavy malty bready aroma. Tasty is fairly bitter with a sour touch and somehow reminds me of a good German doppelbock combined with a barley wine. Interesting, complex and very tasty. Well done.
