{"title":"Eleven Brewery","description":"\u003cp\u003eEleven Brewery is a small brewery from Utrecht, in a former industrial building, founded by Kevin Hageman and Loes van Impelen. Papa Beer is the best-known beer in the core range. They also brew collaborations, smash beers and one-off specials, from Brett beers to a barrel aged stout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!--verhaal--\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow Eleven started in Utrecht\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEleven Brewery belongs to Kevin Hageman and Loes van Impelen. The name refers to the number 11, one plus one: two units that can do more together than alone. Kevin was no newcomer to the beer world, as he worked as a brewer at Brouwerij De Molen and at Oedipus Brewing. Loes had a background in hospitality management, so the two complemented each other well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey started in 2017 with contract brewing and decided shortly after to open their own small brewery. It is in a former industrial building from the fifties, on a small industrial estate in the southwest of Utrecht, 10 to 15 minutes by bike from the centre. The building also houses other creative businesses. In the latest description we found, there was no taproom yet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Eleven brews\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEleven has a core range that is available all year round. Papa Beer is probably the best-known beer in it. They also regularly brew with other Dutch breweries, including Rock City Brewing, Kaapse Brouwers and Rott Brouwers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA second series is the smash series. Smash stands for single malt, single hop: one type of malt and one hop variety, to get to know the character of those ingredients well. They also make one-off specials that don't have to be for everyone, from Brett beers to a barrel aged stout. These are beers that show what Eleven can do and which styles they like to drink themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA recent crowdfunding campaign made it possible to produce more litres and work more efficiently. Eleven now has its own canning line and can make more barrel aged beer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eEleven at Hoptimaal\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the moment we stock seven beers from Eleven, all in 33 cl. The styles vary: two IPAs, a stout, a blond, a sour beer, a Witbier and a bock. The strength ranges from 4.5 to 11%. On Untappd, Eleven Met Jan Naar De Maan, Eleven Papa Beer, Eleven Double Fruited Sour and Eleven Lombok Bok 2026, among others, are rated highly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrink the IPAs, the sour beer and the blond as fresh as possible and well chilled, so the hops and the fruit stay sharp. Pour the heavier beers, such as the stout, more slowly: let them stand out of the fridge for a few minutes and drink them from a small glass. That brings out the malt and depth better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!--faq--\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere does Eleven Brewery come from?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEleven Brewery is in Utrecht, in a former industrial building from the fifties on an industrial estate in the southwest of the city.
