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.

Troebel donkergeel bier met mooi stevig schuim. Smaak is bitterzoet en fruitig met veel mango, ananas en wat citrus. Een heel klein beetje hars voor een prettige bitterheid maakt het af. Toppie!

Keg at If It Ain't Dutch. Near clear gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Airy palate, mildly dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Soft pale malts, sweet but with a prominent grainy note. Soft pine. Slightly ripe citrus, soft and rounded. Light finish. Inoffensive but tastes a bit tired.

(Draught at Het Lagerhuys, Amsterdam, 13 Aug 2025) Pale amber colour with frothy, off-white head. Fruity, hoppy nose with notes of apricots, citrus, toast and a touch of blood orange. Fruity, hoppy taste with citrus, orange peel, apricots, black-currant and a balanced citric/piney bitterness. Almost full body, with a slight sweetness. Fresh and hoppy. Very nice.

On tap at Dutch Taproom. Pours deep dark brown with a beige head. Resinous pine and roastes malts on the nose. Flavour has resinous pine and toasted bready malts. Pretty decent, though I'd like more roast and more hops.

Cna at home. Bit hazy pale yellow. Wheat, oats, zesty hops, lemon zest, light coriander, grape juice. Medium seert, light sour. Light bodied. Tastes like bad lemonade.
