Meesterstuk 2017 is, as the name implies, a masterpiece (meesterstuk). The beer is brewed at brewery Jopen in Haarlem. This beer has matured in Bowmore barrels for 365 days and therefore it has a strong special flavour of Scotch whisky.
While being on our citytrip in Maastricht, we did a tour through a local brewery named: ‘De Maastrichter Maltezer. During this tour, we got the chance to taste ‘De Maltezer’. We absolutely loved the flavour of this beer and therefore we decided to buy it.
The name ‘De Verloren Zoon’ refers to the Bible story of the prodigal son and thus to the home of Jopen: the Jopenkerk Haarlem. Jopen celebrates the return of the ‘Verloren Zoon’ because he has been found again. ‘De Verloren Zoon’ hid in whiskey barrels.
The Mooie Nel IPA from brewery Jopen is definitely something special.
This beer has an alcoholpercentage of 6,5% and it is quite a fruity beer. The beer is named after the water between Haarlem and Spaarndam. Outside the Netherlands this beer is called North Sea IPA.
This beer is brewed as cold as your ex-girlfriend’s heart. So stop whining and crawl out of the dark corner of your room. This beer will warm your heart.
Het Zoentje is an amber-coloured beer which tastes less bitter than an IPA, but fresher dan a spring bock. Moreover, the beer has an alcoholpercentage of 6,2%. Due to the use of several hop varieties, the peach and citrusfruit like character of this beer (almost) literally pops out of your glass.
In the Middle Ages, craftsmen produced a masterpiece (Meesterstuk) as an aptitude test. To honor the patron saint ‘Sint Maarten’ of the Haarlem brewers guild, Jopen started to brew a masterpiece every year in limited edition.
