Description
De initiatiefnemers achter Brouwerij De Lepelaer, Sjaak van der Lee (1960) en zijn achterneef Nico Ruyter (1956), brouwen met toegevoegde grondstoffen uit de Beemster. Zo wordt er biologische tarwe uit de Beemster gebruikt en aromahop (Saaz) en bitterhop (Northern Brewer) uit de volkstuin van Sjaak. De brouwerij is genoemd naar een watervogel uit de woonomgeving van de initiatiefnemers.

Sinds 1 januari 2003 is de brouwerij officieel ingeschreven in het handelsregister van de Kamer van Koophandel. Tot 2016 werd er bij verschillende andere brouwerijen gebrouwen (o.a. De Schans, Proefbrouwerij). Sinds 2016 is er een eigen installatie in gebruik waar ongeveer 3.500 liter bier wordt gebrouwen.

Bottle @ home. Clear blond color, average to medium sized off-white head. Smell and taste malts, lightly yeast, slightly herbs or spices, a light spicy bitterness. Decent body and carbonation. Ok beer but not a golden/blond ale imo. Seems a regular Belgian Blond Ale to me.
