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. Ruby with pink head. Tons of sweet cherry, wheat, corn, vanilla, light alcohol, earthy, cassis. Medium sweet, less sour and bitter. Medium bodied. A bit weird.

0.33 l bottle @home. Pours pitch black with thick, everlasting beige head. Nose is chocolate, cocoa, slight coffee and some roasted notes. Taste is cocoa, chocolate, moderate fruits, followed by hoppy bitterness that is mainly present in the finish, which lasts long. Light body, creamy texture and moderate to average carbo. More pronounced hops presence wouldn't have hurt, but a decent brew nevertheless.
