The brewery was established in 2002 by Arno Kooy and Fer Kok on the Schinkel business park outside the center of Amsterdam. Initially the brewery was called Шаблон:Lang ('The Pearl'), but this name had to be changed at the behest of the Budelse Brouwerij, because it already made a beer called Шаблон:Lang. That is why the anagram Шаблон:Lang ('The Pomp') was chosen.[1]
In 2008 the brewery moved to Oudezijds Voorburgwal. A larger brewery was installed in that building to meet the increased demand. In 2011, a tasting room was also opened for the beers brewed on site.[1]
The brewery has two tasting rooms, the second of which was established in 2022 in De Pijp in Amsterdam. There are also branches in The Hague and Groningen.[2]
Social function
The brewery employs people with disabilities who have difficulty finding work elsewhere. This means that the brewery has a social function.[3] In 2002, Brouwerij De Prael was the first Dutch brewery to opt for this way of working, but the idea has now been followed, for example in Zaanstad at Шаблон:Ill.
The relatively large range of beers varies in taste, color and alcohol percentage. The brewery not only brews Dutch and Belgian styles, but also German ones such as Kölsch. There are also seasonal beers.
In addition, brewing is also done on behalf of others, so-called gypsy brewers.
