Klophop: 100% Utrecht Hop

16 October 2019

900 meters from our brewery you can find Citygarden Klopvaart. A few months ago the volunteers found a hop plant there. They called us and asked us if we knew something to do with it. We cultivated the plant and during a harvestparty a few months later, on the 22nd of September, we harvested quite a lot hop cones.

With this 100% Utrecht-grown hop we brewed Klophop. A suprisingly drinkable 5% pale ale. During the openingweekend of our taproom we launched the beer. We only have this beer on kegs, so ask your local beercafé about it!

It doens’t get more Utrecht than this!

We’re open!

16 October 2019

On the 11th and 12th of october we celebrated the opening of our taproom. Were you there? In that case we would like to thank you very much! You made this weekend a little bit better.

The whole two days people could taste one of the 16 beers from the tap, enjoy some barbites or our well-stocked pitas and play a lot of games. We also launched our newest beer: Klophop! We brewed Klophop with hops 100% grown in Utrecht.

Did you miss the opening? No worries! From now on we’re opening our taproom every friday and saturday. Check our Taproom-page for openingtimes and how to book a brewerytour.

 

We are opening our taproom

19 September 2019

Do you remember? Two and a half years ago we opened our brewery in Utrecht. Now we’ve got a new reason to throw a party. On the 11th and 12th of October we are opening our taproom! 

Ever since we opened the brewery in 2017, we’ve had the plans to open a taproom at the brewery. Now we are really doing it, we have a unique location in this part of Utrecht for a craftbeer, a snack and a boardgame.

                  

What you can expect of our taproom? A well filled gamescabinet, barfood and off course a lot of really tasty beer. Mostly fresh beer! Because we can tap beer that was in a tank just an hour before. We’ve got our inspiration during our trip to America last year. Almost every craftbrewery as a taproom where you can drink beer while looking at the kettles they are brewed in. That’s something we wanted as well.

We are also going to give a brewerytour every saturday. You can already book one at our special Taproom-page. 

                    

Opening Weekend

At the 11th and 12th of October we are celebrating the opening of our taproom. During this weekend you can be the first one to see how the beer flows out of one of our sixteen taps. Both days we will have a XXL-game-corner, DJ’s and all the visitors will collectively design a new vandeStreek-label.

Friday we start at 4PM, saturday at 1PM. Let us know if you will come!

Shake it!

Yes, we brewed another Milkshake IPA this summer! After we used peaches and apricots last year, we now threw mandarin and pear in the kettles. During the fermentation we added some lactose to get an extra creamy beer. The result is a fresh fruitbomb with 7,5% alcohol. To keep him extra fresh we put this beer in can.

Oops we did it again! FRUIT MACHINE 0,5%

11 July 2019

Get ready for the introduction of a new 0,5% beer: FRUIT MACHINE. Fruit Machine is a bright pink beer which we brewed with raspberries and blueberries to get a nice fruity result.

So we brewed this fresh-sour pink fruitbomb with raspberry and blueberry. It contains almost no alcohol but a lot of taste! After “Playground” and “Bock jij of Bock ik?” the moment came to experiment with new Non-Alcohol beers.

We brewed FRUIT MACHINE with a with a new and different technique then how we brew the Playground. Because of this the beer has less residual sugars with makes it, in combination with the sourness, extra thirst-quenching.
