The brewery – our beating heart
KOMPAAN brewery design started in 2015. The realization and commissioning of the brewery took place in 2016. The brewery consists of 4x 35hl vessels: mash tun, lauter tun, boiling kettle and a whirlpool.

Barrel aging – bootcamp
At Kompaan we love pioneering and discovering. For this reason we love barrel aged projects. We work with all kinds of barrels and try out various variations of beer styles / additions. Watch out for these special editions.
Packaging – the ‘candroid’
At the very start of 2021 we took a major step by switching our production to cans.

Brewery
Our brewery is at Saturnusstraat 55 in the Binckhorst, right next to Thuishaven. From the brewpub, you can look straight through a big window into the working brewery. So the beer in your glass really hasn’t travelled very far.
Kompaan was founded in 2012 by school friends Jasper Langbroek and Jeroen van Ditmarsch. The first experiments happened at home with pots and pans; design of our current Binckhorst brewery began in 2015 and it opened in 2016. From pots and pans to 35 hectolitres at a time – things got slightly out of hand.
More than 40 different beers every year. Alongside our permanent Core Range, we keep experimenting with Battle Royale, Foreign Legion, Beast Mode, seasonals, fresh-hop beers, collabs and standalone specials. The result: our tap list never sits still for long.
Our Thuishaven brewery tour lasts roughly 1.5 hours and combines a look behind the scenes of our working brewery with a beer tasting. The regular tour runs every Saturday at 15:00; English is available on request and private tours are available for groups.
