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.

An interesting beer with a rather discreet side of rye, giving a smooth side, not so fruity for the kind of cereal, even though it is a generous beer with notes of rye, roasted malt, coffee, dry, aromatic with a final touch of hop, 10.05.21, at Epalinges.

Gekocht bij Burg Bieren. Eenmaal thuis was ik even bang dat dit bier al 4 of 5 jaar oud was (in blik!), maar het lijkt uit 2023 te zijn, evenzogoed hoog tijd om het te drinken. Schenkt als modder, zeer troebel (kan ook zijn omdat ik het eergisteren gekocht en vervoerd heb), een beetje oranjebruine kleur en een beige kraag die snel inzakt tot een patch. Geur is zoet (karamel/toffee), fruit, fruitsnoepjes. Zelfs nog wat fruitiger in de mond. Smaak is gemiddeld zoet maar ook vrij bitter, wat houtig. Redelijke body, medium tot vol. Goede koolzuurprikkeling. Bitterheid blijft hangen, niet astringent. Toch nog prima, gelukkig.

Thanks Isabel for this beer, nice present for my stay at Barendrecht. Hot weather and I drank this beer at night, after 4 hours delay from Germany. Solid oatmeal stout, nutty, chocolate, roasty, smooth coffee, sweet, bitter, subtle, drank it for days ago, loving the oat to brew the beers in general.

Draught. A bit unclear yellow color, white head. Aroma and flavor are lightly malts, hoppy bitters, bitter, hayish hoppy. Decent body and carbonation.
