Description
Artisanally brewed in Amsterdam since 2011.

Combining influences from the rich European beer culture with a non-conformist attitude.

From a family heritage of Swedish farm brewers and trained by the masters of ale and porter in England, we ended up in the Netherlands to create our own microcosm in the world of beer.

Inspired by the lesser known sides of European brewing culture and devoted to uncommon artisanal techniques, Butcher's Tears makes distinctive beers that progress beyond fashion and convention.

33 cl. bottle @ home, bought online @ Biernavigatie.nl. Clear brown with a decent tan head. Roasted malts, caramel and dark fruits in the aroma. Taste has some bitterness and sweetness in a nice balance. A dunkler bock? No, a yeasty fruity stout. The best Butcher’s Tears beer I tasted so far.
