This place looks pretty cool and they do free brewery tours on Sundays.

Beer lovers
yeah, this place is super awesome.
go on a sunny day and sit outside with some friends and a few trays of beer... heaven. you don't get any fresher than drinking it within 10 meters of the brew location. I've seen lots of people smoking joints there too, its normal. In fact the guy who did the brewery tour seemed pretty high at the time lol.
their 'Zatte' is prob my fave Dutch beer. first time I tasted it, I was amazed how fruity the aftertaste was, almost like bubblegum (in a subtle way, there are no flavor additives).
first time at the brewery I recommend you order the tasting plate, then you get to try smaller glasses of each different kind of beer, and work out your fave.
when you get hungry, they also have plates of cheese and meat on offer. the organic sheeps cheese is pretty special. it comes from sheep that eat the byproducts from the beer making process! so you can match beer and cheese that are literally from the same ingredients, pretty cool if you ask me.
its a really unique experience. Last time I went, they were really busy and started running out of most beer types in the late afternoon. of course thats not a good thing, but it shows that they are truly handmade, special beers, not mass produced.
if you get REALLY hungry like we did after many hours drinking, theres also a Burgermeester within walking distance.
