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.

Acquired by Swinkels Family Brewers in 2021.

Hoppy and coffeeish black IPA/porter. Sticky mouthfeel. Roasted aftertaste of hops and malt. Nice.

8.2%, zwart met bruine kraag die snel afvlakt. Aroma is hoppig en de den komt ook goed door. Ik zou zeggen dat het eerder een BIPA was in plaats van een Porter, De smaken zijn matig zoet, zacht, matig bitter, pepertje, wel zachte smaken, glad/romig van textuur, den, hop, grapefruit matige body, lage co2, afdronk licht en droog, redelijk bier echter jammer van de lichte body en vreemde stijl.

Bottle shared by Dutchdrebus @ weekly tasting. Opaque pitch black color, medium sized lightly creamy light brown head that lasts for a decent while and leaves fair to good lacing. Aroma is malts, some roast, a touch of alcohol, lightly liquor. Taste malts, some roast, barrel aging present but not as much as expected. Medium body and carbonation. Don’t know why but I feel the other three are better. Nonetheless, not a beer you want to leave on the shelf.

Bottle shared by Dutchdrebus @ weekly tasting. Opaque black color, small beige head. Smell malts, lots of peat, band-aid, some alcohol. Taste malts, lightly roasty, peat, band-aid, alcohol, maybe a hint of liquorice wood. Medium to full body, medium carbonation. Imo the heavy peat you’d expect and is somewhat present in the aroma is balanced very well in the flavor. This is a beauty, even though I’m not really into coal ila. Impressive!
