We may be embarking on the greatest beer brewing adventure yet… In collaboration with United Fish Auctions, we are brewing a Saison with Lobster!

We have wanted to do this for years. Ever since we have tasted a lobster beer in the American Maine, we wanted to make such a special and unique beer in the Netherlands too.

This is now becoming a reality in collaboration with United Fish Auctions, which operates the fish auctions in Scheveningen and Stellendam and the lobster auction in Colijnsplaat.

At the beginning of July, we went to Zeeland to catch the last lobsters of the season for the new beer ourselves and learn everything about the famous Oosterschelde Lobster.

The mayor of The Hague Jan van Zanen was briefly present at the start of the brewing process. He complimented everyone on the special collaborative project - in these current, challenging times - within the city limits of The Hague from Scheveningen to Binckhorst. He is looking forward to the result in a few weeks.

The beer was brewed according to a classic beer style - a Saison - to which we gave this experimental twist… Strive for a beer with a nice balance of the sweetness of the Oosterschelde lobster and the spicyness of the Saison.

And not one bit of it went to waste! After brewing, the lobsters were handed over by our lead-brewer to our chef cook who has prepared this amazing sea-food feast for the guests and crew.

In a tough year with lots of hardship and challenges these legionnaires are going through the toughest boot camp you can imagine. Extensive barrel aged training made these heavy hitters up for any challenge in a post-Corona world. We’re happy to announce that within this bunch of rugged S.O.B’s two veterans are returning on the scene... But their identities remain classified as their training is still in progress. Over the next few months you will learn more about them and the special ops we’ve got in store...


Order now so you don’t miss out!

A red headed amber coloured thunderbolt with a high and tight white army style foam head. Napalm style smokey and caramel aromas, and a little hint of stone fruit go well with his blunt character. He might taste sweet at first, with hints of red fruit and smoked meat, but will surprise you with a huge kick of smoke in his aftertaste.

She rocks an amber golden color, with a smooth white foam head. Of course there’s the thick tequila aroma, but taste a little further and you will discover tones of wood, lime and alcohol. She tastes salty, but also sports a good amount of citrus - that’s where her bite comes from. Overall she’ll leave you with a full sensation, and a long and tentative aftertaste.

Like Maria, she has an amber golden appearance. A fluffy broken white foam head matches her aromas of wood, lots of citrus and light whiskey malts.
She tastes just like her personality: salty & spiky, pay attention to her bittersweet whiskey tones. Fans of Blondie will be rewarded with a full mouthfeel and a long and salty aftertaste.

Pitch Black Imperial stout. We’re talking about Charlie so we’re talking Vantablack. Fit for the deepest covert operations. Only recognisable in the dark by his beige foam head. When encountering this smooth talker you will notice a lot of sweetness, oak and vanilla with a touch of bay leaf. He will completely wrap you around his fingers with a middle to long smooth aftertaste and a warm and full mouthfeel.

A dark buccaneer with a sandy foam head. Due to a Jamaican Rum habit he’s a little bit spicy and lightly alcoholic, with hints of burned sugar, but he tastes full, sweet and slightly peppery. This year’s oddball leaves you with a full mouthfeel and a looooooong alcohol aftertaste.

A Dark brown to black universal soldier with a beige foam head [‘91 Army Classic]. Heavy hitter with aromas of -blood-red fruits, cherries, white pepper and the original Brett horse-blanket. Tastes just like his personality: sour, with a lot of depth. Pay attention to the ester flavours with hints of red wine and bourbon. Mix this with some burnt malts and he’ll leave you with a light sparkling but full mouthfeel, that’s s weet and sour.

The second installment of our new series “Lager Tales”is once again a classic lager style! Originally from Munich, this German style is characterized by a light amber color, malty mouthfeel and a crispy aftertaste. Brewed with more hops and a little bit higher alcohol percentage, so that it would have a longer shelf life and last until the Oktoberfest, where the Märzen would be served.

Besides creating six super nice beers we’re also going to entertain you with all the know-how and facts and figures [either useful or not] we know about this style! There is quite literally - see what we did there - more than meets the eye with these cans, find out for yourself! By the way, did we mention that already? This is the first beer series by Kompaan that’s completely released on cans!

It was overwhelming and heartwarming to see what the Dutch beer community can achieve when they all put their shoulders to the wheel. The Beer Geeks Beat ALS campaign, which was organized for the second time last year by the Facebook group "Beer Geeks", raised more than 109,000 euros. A awesome amount, which gives everyone involved a lot of inspiration and motivation to keep going!

An English Barley wine with a relatively low alcohol percentage compared to other BWs, but kept the style. Cranberries added to the boil, giving it acidity and a deep purple color. Brewed in collaboration with Brouwerij de Molen, Crooked Spider, Brouwerij Voorschoten, Duits&Lauret, Eeuwig Zonde and KraftBier.

The time has finally come, the sale of the Beer Geeks Beat ALS six-pack has started on March 25! Despite corona, 57 breweries again committed themselves to charity this year. As a result, six-pack with a great variety of beer styles. Treat yourself to these beers and support a good cause at the same time. Because let's not forget, every euro counts for the research that is so desperately needed into the terrible disease ALS.

Below is an overview of all stores that sell the six-pack. Note: sales are going fast! Some outlets are already out of stock. Find the nearest outlet by following the link.

We invited Rinse to have a good time with us, and introduce our newest Core Range member in a most spectacular way! Keep an eye out on our socials for his cunning skills! And more than that, we will have some shenanigans with this wild one ourselves in the next couple of weeks!
