About
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.

Uit een flesje. Donkere amber kleur, bijna dieprood, heel veel lichtbruin schuim. Geur van toast, smaak ook wat caramel, iets te zoet voor een ipa. Wel een lekker bier.

Draught at De Molen. Ik ga bij hoge uitzondering een rating in het Nederlands doen. Ik denk zelfs dat dit mijn enige NLse rating is, maar serieus, dit bier wtf...? Dreft en vanille. Echt goor, bah en ultra smerig tegelijk. 3-3-2-2-4.

Presented as a Zoigl. Draught at the source in Rotterdam. Pours a hazy deep golden colour and a small white head with little retention. Aroma's are grainish, malty and maybe even a hint of butter. Sweetish and fruity retronasal. Flavour is light moderate sweet. Light bodied. Short finish. Close enough to a real German Zoigl.
