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.

On tap @ Arendsnest. Amber color, slightly hazy. Dense white (to off white) head, good lacing. Aroma’s: pine, pine needles, citrus, earthy hops, with some tropical fruit and light caramel retronasal. Flavor is grainish, moderately bitter. Light bodied. Finishes grainish and bitter. Flavor didn’t really live up to the hoppy aroma, but this was very tasty anyway. I liked it.

Bottled thanks to Alice and Jan. Clear golden color, short head. Aroma of lots of hop, pineapple, some onion and garlic, some pine and grapefruit. Quite harsh bitterness in taste, dry. It’s ok, but a bit unbalanced actually. Still promising stuff.
