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.

14 14/IX/19 - on tap @ Wanderlust (Brussels), BB: n/a - (2019-1403) Thanks to Sebletitje, Rubin77 and ElManana+1 for sharing today's beers!
Clear dark amber beer, small creamy off-white head, unstable, non adhesive. Aroma: earthy, lots of tobacco, spicy, dry, sugary touch, some caramel, weird, smells like a quadrupel. MF: ok carbon, medium to full body. Taste: lots of alcohol, sugary, oxidized, bitter finish. Not sure what to make of this.

Little cloudy amber to orange beer, practically no head. Aroma: peach and apricots, nice and fruity, soft acidic impression. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: all (candied) orange peel, more orange flavoured candy, soft acidity. Aftertaste: all orange flavoured candy, sourish touch, little bitter, fruity notes. Not bad, but not great, too one-dimensional.
