Description
Our mission is pretty much monomaniacal: to brew f*cking good beer. We call it craft-y beer because the owl's got a sharp, uncompromised tongue and a penchant for mischief.
On a typical day we toy with the familiar – unfiltered lager, silky hefeweizen and puckery American IPA, anyone? – but at night we explore the crafty beer extremes from our medieval watering hole Haarlem (That's Haarlem with two 'a's, the Dutch one, and the namesake of New York's single-'a'ed Harlem).
Really truly, our idea of fun is abusing the rauchbeer-Scotch ale-sour beer-oak-aged Imperial Stout-Barley wine clichés. The first rule of owl school: when using hops think in wheelbarrows and not buckets.
So enjoy us, drink us and by all means hop fans abuse us right back – ideally via our social media channels where we announce our very active new creations.

44cl Blik van AH, rechtstreeks uit blik. Ook deze AH special heeft Special Edition op de zijkant staan, maar ik zie geen 'normale' versie, en als die er al is lijkt het erop dat de hoppen hetzelfde zijn. Columbus, Idaho7, El Dorado. Fruitig, sinaasappels, marmelade, grapefruit, hintje boter, guave, degelijk bitter, licht kruidig. Lichte tot medium body. Prima.

For me, this beer is a companion for the summer, refreshing, fruity with notes of watermelon giving a side of strawberry, wheat, smooth, citrus, light, 07.02.21, at Epalinges.

For me, this can was right, pleasant beer, perfectly refreshing during all the year, rather smooth with a little note of sourness at the final, wheat, malty, generous note of pineapple during the sip, not disgusting, fruity, 13.03.21

Can from a local bottle shop. Gotta be the worst Uiltje pun ever, and that's quite an accomplishment. Resinous hop profile with malt, pine resin, sugary orange, touch of grapefruit. Medium bitter with a light sweetness. Nice and resinous.
