Jopen Brewery - Haarlem

The story behind Jopen begins in the fourteenth century when Haarlem grew into one of the most important brewing cities in the Netherlands. Breweries are running at full speed and the barley liquor is transported across the Spaarne in 'Jopen' (112 liter barrels). The beer is of excellent quality and is even drunk abroad. But the fame comes to an end. In 1916, the last Haarlem brewery closed its gates.

Let's jump to the early 1990s. Preparations for the festivities of Haarlem's 750th anniversary are in full swing. The Haarlem Beer Society foundation submits a plan to bring back Haarlem beer. Recipes from 1407 and 1501 are found in the city archives and the beer is reproduced.

And… the brews are a pleasure to drink. The newest beer, Hoppen, heralded the festive year on November 11, 1994.

The beginning of Jopen!

Gin 1689 - The Amsterdam Craft Gin Company

Their mission is to bring back the gin from when the Gin-craze started and to tell the story of how it found its place in the world over 350 years ago.

A spirit that once had a purpose to heal people, to eventually a drink which is enjoyed and gives people a chance to unwind and celebrate the moment with friends and loved ones.

They want to celebrate that history of gin making and take the consumer back in time.

ROYAL HERITAGE. DISTILLED.

't IJ Brewery - Amsterdam

‘t IJ Brewery has been brewing quality beers since 1985.

It all started when musician Kasper Peterson looked for an official outlet for his experimental home brewing. As a member and composer of the band I, he fell in love with the Belgian style beers while touring south of the Dutch border. Since similar beers were not yet brewed in Amsterdam, Kasper decided to produce them himself.

Searching for a suitable building to start an official brewery, he stumbled upon an old municipal bath house in disuse. It still had its water supply and drainage system, easy-to-keep-clean tiles and steam generator. It was, in short, the perfect building for a brewer. As a bonus, it had the biggest wooden windmill of the Netherlands right next door as the ultimate landmark!

Gebrouwen door Vrouwen

Gebrouwen door Vrouwen (Brewed by Females) started as a hobby for 2 sisters in Amsterdam.

They have been brewing their own beer since 2013. It all started as a hobby, at home, with a 35 liter pan. But, with a lot of trial and error, they learned how to brew beer and now they know exactly how to make fresh, slightly sweet beers. The sisters are still experimenting, but have recently begun to make our best beers in bigger batches, so you can all enjoy them as well!

The sisters like to brew with a lot of herbs; with malt and with wheat.

Their mission: brew great beers. But perhaps most importantly: have a lot of fun making and drinking them!

Once you’ve mastered the basics, that’s when the adventure really starts. We mix tradition and knowledge with a dash of confidence and cockiness to brew up the perfect party. And that’s exactly what it is: a party for the palate for all who dare.

Kompaan Brewery

Kompaan had humble beginnings, with just a few recipes and a whole lot of gusto. The brewery was founded by Jeroen and Jasper, two school friends that have known each other longer than not. They shared a zest for life and were ready to put The Hague on the craft beer map. The brewery name is based on this friendship, two companions drinking together. As a modern, young brewery making contemporary, exciting beers, the name is spelt in modern Dutch, as “kompaan”, and not “compaen”.

Beginning in 2010, Jeroen and Jasper began to brew alone and it took them two years before their first beer, now called the Bondgenoot, was born.

The nice thing about brewing beer today is that anything is possible. Whether it concerns brewing techniques, excessively strange ingredients, collaborations of breweries among themselves, barrel aging, we like to apply them all. And we have done that in the past 2 years and will continue to do so. There is always something to learn and/or discover in the landscape of quirky brewers and their creativity. Truly an ultimate journey that, if it is up to us, may take a long time so that you too can continue to enjoy and discover!

Double Dutch

We are committed to supplying our customers with the most refined and highest quality ingredients, which is why we experimented extensively with the method of taste pairing. The idea is based upon the fact that ingredients combine well when they share key flavour components.

We had to find a delicate equilibrium between spirits and the flavour combinations in our carefully crafted drinks. The result is a series of delicious substantiated drinks/spirit enhancers. Each bottle is entirely made without any artificial flavouring, colouring or preservatives.
