MEET OUR FRIENDS ✨

Joining us for our 12th Anniversary Festival on May 16th? There’s more than just beer!
Hungry or fancying a glass of wine? We’ve got you covered!
Some long-time friends are returning… and you’ll also be able to get a first taste of our new location!

🥩Kaapse Kaai Kitchen
“Our chef Sjoerd will be giving you a first taste of the new Kaapse Kaai kitchen. Inspired by Mediterranean cuisine in the broadest sense, he serves dishes full of flavour, sunshine, and character. This is what you can expect soon in the taproom!”

** Especially for the festival, you can pair your beer with an amazing BBQ côte de boeuf by our chef Sjoerd. At 1kg each, it’s perfect for sharing with your whole group!
**If you’d like to enjoy our BBQ Côte de Boeuf during the Anniversary Festival, please reserve in advance via [email protected]

🧀Booij Kaasmakers
“In 2014, Marijke van Booij Kaasmakers started the Fenix Food Factory together with the Kaapse Brewers and five other entrepreneurs, and we’ve been friends ever since. Marijke is the 7th generation cheesemaker of this more than 300-year-old family business.Her cheeses are considered among the very best in the Netherlands!”

✨🌱Ministerie van Geluk
They are bringing their iconic food truck with one goal in mind: making people happy through food. From curries to burgers, from crispy duck to tapas; everything is 100% plant-based, and everything can be fully veganized. Expect comfort food with a mission: good for yourself, good for the planet, and good for Gross National Happiness”

🍷Craft Wine by Go Good
“For several years now, Go Good has been supplying beautiful natural wines to Kaapse Maria, and now they’re tempting the brewers with their delicious selections too. Go Good is a family-run business from Amsterdam, bringing authentic natural wines with a story. With a strong focus on indigenous grapes from Serbia and Slovenia, they let you taste something almost forgotten; pure, distinctive, and full of character”

In the weeks leading up to our 12th Anniversary Festival we are introducing breweries who will be joining us and today we have our last (but definitely not least 😉) two guest breweries to introduce:

To make these introductions extra special, our founder Tsjomme shares a few words about how we got to know them!

🍺 Laugar Brewing (ES)
"A brewery from the Basque Country and friends from the very beginning. They brew beers with the quality you’d expect from a brewery located at the epicenter of the gastronomic world.
The people who work there brew with passion, energy, and a love for flavor. The first time they attended our festival, they brewed a beer while pouring pints and even fitted a fermenter with a cooling line at the same time. They’re legends"!

🍺 La Pirata Brewing (ES)
"La Pirata is the brainchild of Aran, and also a Kaapse friend from the very beginning. When they had just started out, I invited them to our festival, and we both immediately felt like we were family. The brewery is located in the mountains near Barcelona. As a true Catalan, good taste runs in his blood, and he creates truly exceptional beers, from easy-drinking brews to beautiful barrel-aged beers and grape ales. You won’t meet a kinder person than Aran, and you’ll be hard-pressed to find better beers".

In the weeks leading up to our 12th Anniversary Festival, we are introducing breweries who will be joining us and today we have three more introductions to make!

To make this extra special, our founder Tsjomme shares how we got to know each individual brewery.

🍺 Walhalla Craft Beer (NL)
"Just like Kromme Haring, we see Walhalla as kindred spirits in the Dutch beer scene. Aart makes amazing beers, avoids following trends, and fully does his own thing. Every beer they produce is incredibly tasty and consistently high quality. We’re happy their new location is finally up and running, and we hope to remain friends for many years to come".

🍺 Brussels Beer Project (BE)
"We’ve been friends with this brewery from the very beginning... and they’ve grown at least tenfold by now. When I invited founders Sébastien and Olivier to our very first festival, they didn’t even have a brewery yet, let alone beer on draft. They showed up with bottled beer and fridges to serve it. These guys have been a huge inspiration to us. In the 12 years I’ve known them, they’ve built two impressive breweries, produce phenomenal beers, now have six of their own bars, and truly have beer running through their veins".

🍺 Fermentage (PT)
"This is a brewery we’ll be meeting for the first time. We’ve heard nothing but great things, so let’s give them a warm welcome in Rotterdam".

MEET OUR FRIENDS!

In the weeks leading up to our 12th Anniversary Festival, we are introducing breweries who will be joining us, and today we have three more introductions to make!

To make this extra special, our founder Tsjomme shares how we got to know each individual brewery.

🍺To Øl (DK)
"These are true legends from the early days! A brewery with a similar story to Kaapse…just about TEN times bigger. They started without their own brewery in 2010, and in 2019 they opened To Øl City in an incredibly cool location: a former ketchup factory. It’s a phenomenal brewery where, besides beer, they also produce canned cocktails, cider, and their own spirits.
An absolute role model for Kaapse. And their beer is DELICIOUS!"

🍺 Norm Brewing (BE)
"This is a brewery we’ll be meeting for the first time. We’ve heard nothing but good things, so let’s give them a warm welcome in Rotterdam"

🍺 Brouwerij de Kromme Haring (NL)
"A brewery close to our hearts. Just like Kaapse, they have a strong love for “unsellable” styles…and they brew them from time to time, which makes us very happy.
They’ve been producing some of the best beers in the country for years. High quality, entirely in their own style, without caring about trends in the slightest. Here’s to staying friends for a long time to come.

MEET OUR FRIENDS!

Over the coming weeks we will be introducing all the guest breweries who will be joining us for our 12th Anniversary Festival, and today we are starting with the first three!

To make these introductions extra special, our founder Tsjomme shares how we got to know each individual brewery.

🍺 The Kernel Brewery (UK)
“Without this brewery, Kaapse Brouwers would not have existed. In 2011, I started working at The Rake, one of London’s first craft beer bars, located in Borough Market, where I was introduced to The Kernel’s beers. Literally every beer I tried from them was delicious.

The brewery is a perfect example of “small brewery, big impact.” In terms of approach, Evin O'Riordain is a role model for the beer industry: simple beers of outstanding quality. The Kernel doesn’t prioritize revenue or growth, but instead focuses on quality of life, quality of work, and peace of mind.

There are even breweries with signs that say: “What would Evin do?”
If you ever lose your way… that’s your answer" 😉

🍺Sleeping Village Brewery (NO)
“We had been friends with this brewery long before it even existed. We already knew the owner and brewer from his time as a barrel manager and brewer at the legendary Nøgne Ø, where he met the other owner, Ingebjørg, who is the daughter of Nøgne Ø’s founder.
Sleeping Village’s beers are always perfectly on point and rank among the best in the world”.

🍺Q***r Brewing (UK)
“We met this brewery at a festival hosted by our friends from Brussels Beer Project. It’s an inspiring group of people who brew phenomenal beers.

I can’t wait to get to know them better!"
