{"title":"Brouwerij Kees","description":"\u003cp\u003eBrouwerij Kees is a microbrewery from Middelburg in Zeeland, founded by Kees Bubberman, formerly head brewer at De Molen. They are known for IPAs and stouts, from a sharp American IPA to a heavy pastry stout.

According to Tally's Beer Universe, the brewery started in 2015. The founder is Kees Bubberman, who was previously head brewer at De Molen. Tally's describes Brouwerij Kees as the maker of some of the best barrel-aged stouts and IPAs in the Netherlands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe brewery itself goes for 'Craftsmanship with guts. Beer with character.' On its own site it talks about award-winning specialty beers, brewed in Middelburg. You can order them online, visit the brewery or pick them up at a liquor store.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrom American IPA to quadrupel\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe standard line, the core range, is broad. On the hoppy side are Fresh \u0026amp; Spiky (American IPA, 6%), Mosaic Hop (single hop IPA, 5.5%), Hazy Sunrise (New England IPA, 5.6%) and Double Haze (double New England IPA, 8.5%). Kees also brews a Belgian blond, It’s a blond (6%), a weizen, Zeeuwse Lust (5%), and with Be Wise a low-alcohol weizen of 0.3%.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the dark side are Enjoy the Silence, a quadrupel of 11.5%, and Caramel Fudge Stout, a pastry stout that is also 11.5%. According to Tally's, Export Porter 1750 is reconstructed from an eighteenth-century London porter recipe. Export porter was brewed strong to survive the journey to the Baltic, and that is how the style ended up in Russia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBrouwerij Kees at Hoptimaal\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom Brouwerij Kees you'll mostly find IPAs and stouts here, along with weizen, blond, lager \u0026amp; pilsner and bock. The beers come in 33 and 44 cl and range in strength from 0.3 to 12%. On Untappd, Kees Barrel Project 2026 Port, Kees Caramel Fudge Stout 2026 in the Laphroaig, Macadamia and Cardhu editions, and Kees Hazy Sunrise, among others, are highly rated.
