Hoptimaal offers a wide variety of beers both in-store and online. If you can place an order, we usually have the product in stock (though mistakes can happen, unfortunately). Products that are in stock will be shipped the same day if ordered before 3:00 PM.
If we make an error with stock levels, you will be notified within 24 hours. In that email, we will offer you an alternative product, the right to a full refund, and a new delivery time. It's up to you how you'd like us to resolve the issue.
We ship all orders with DPD from the Netherlands. You can choose between:
Home delivery or delivery to your work
Delivery to a DPD pickup point near you
Shipping costs and the free-shipping threshold for your country are in the table below.
Deposit
On cans and bottles we charge the Dutch deposit (statiegeld): €0.15 per can and €0.10 per bottle (a little more for some bottles). It shows as a separate line in your cart. The deposit belongs to the Dutch deposit system: you can return the packaging in the Netherlands, not in deposit machines in other countries.

Delivery
DPD generally delivers within 2-5 business days of receiving the package. You can track your order using the tracking information we send, so you can see exactly where your package is. DPD will also give you a time window of 2 to 4 hours for delivery. Not at home? No problem! You can choose whether you want them to deliver again the next day or leave it at the nearest post office.
You have a 14-day cooling-off period after receiving your product. Within this period, you can request a return. The email you received when your order was shipped contains a link to easily download and print a return label. After registering your return, you have another 14 days to send the product back. If you've purchased multiple items at once, the return period begins after receiving your last item.
How to return or exchange a product:
Fill out the return form within 14 days of receiving the product. If you're unable to print the return form, at least include your order number and name on a piece of paper and include it in your return.

Gardiaan Blond is the result of a collaboration between Het Nest brewery and the Capuchin monastery in Meersel-Dreef. A Belgian blonde at 5.8% ABV with a restrained 25 IBU.
Tasting Notes
Expect a soft blonde with floral notes and a fruity hint. The bitterness is pleasant and stays modest at 25 IBU, keeping the gentle side of the beer in front.
Brewery
Het Nest brewed this blonde together with the Capuchin monastery in Meersel-Dreef, a partnership between monastery and brewery.
Serving
Serve well chilled, around 6-8 °C, in a tulip glass.
