Fantastic beer store right in the city centre. Great varied selection with beers from the Netherlands, including some locals, and lots of international stuff, for example several BCBS variants, quite some lambic and other gems. I would have liked to see more Dutch beers but for the regular client this must be great. It's maybe not the cheapest place but absolutely worth a visit. Staff is attentive and knowledgeable as well.

0.33 l bottle from 'Homberg's große Bierwelt', brewed at Bieratelier Oelde, 32 IBU, best before March 2026. Very hazy, orangeish amber with a medium large, frothy, almost stable, white head. Sweetish, rather fruity, slightly resiny aroma of mango, orange jam and some pine. Gently sweet, moderately bitter, rather fruity, slightly juicy and a bit resiny taste of mango, orange jam, some passion fruit and a touch of pine, followed by a short, moderately bitter finish. Medium to full body, smooth and slightly creamy mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Very well-brewed beer, maybe not completely within the boundaries of the style though.
