Discovering the Best Beer Tasting Events with Biergilde Hoorn at Proeflokaal Charlies

The best beer tasting events follow a theme, or focus on local beers. They are even better when held in a welcoming pub, bar or café that presents a well curated beer menu. Biergilde Hoorn’s beer-tasting evenings held at Proeflokaal Charlies is the perfect example. It’s a fun event, with excellent hosts and friendly attendees. And a diverse selection of beers to taste, which people may not usually drink, is a bonus. We are pleased Biergilde Hoorn and Proeflokaal Charlies invited us to be the first guest after the summer.

The organisers are Rob from Hoorn Beer Guild (Biergilde Hoorn) and Monica from Proeflokaal Charlies. Their monthly proefavonden (beer-tasting evenings) happen every third Wednesday. Each month, a barful of enthusiastic beer devotees gather to sample six beers. The primary focus is local beers, whether home-brewed or commercial releases. But interesting brewers from outside the region are also invited too.

Fruity Monkey Beer is from Den Helder, which is in the same province as Hoorn: North Holland. Both Den Helder and Hoorn are maritime cities in the northwest, not far from each other. We are thus considered a local commercial beer producer.

Discovering beers and breweries in a fun environment is the evening’s aim. While also learning as much about beer as possible. Biergilde Hoorn and Proeflokaal Charlies not only meet those goals, but exceed them in every way.

Rob and Monica invite the brewers and producers themselves to present and explain their beers. So we are delighted to have been asked to tell the Fruity Monkey Beer story and discuss our fruit beers.

In a busy Charlies, we introduced Peach, Passion Fruit, Raspberry, Strawberry, Coconut Vanilla and My Oathkeeper, our Imperial Oatmeal Stout. The attendees blind-tasted our beers, before giving their opinions and an honest verdict. We then spoke and explained what they had tried. Our fruity-fresh flavour adventures were popular, and the candid feedback was a useful insight. We made some new friends and new fans; but others who prefer more traditional tastes remain unconvinced. And that’s what make the beer world go round. So we’re more than happy.

Rob and Monica coordinated the evening with superb attention to detail. Rob also acted as compere. We enjoyed it very much and will attend again. But a visit to Proeflokaal Charlies (and Hoorn) is worthwhile at any time, thanks to an impressive beer range. There are 11 special beers on tap, many changing often, and over 100 different bottled beers. Not only Dutch and local, but also from Belgium — it is an ambassador for Trappist Orval.

We recommend Biergilde Hoorn, Proeflokaal Charlies and the proefavonden to any beer lovers in the area. But our recommendation is unnecessary, for their success is already guaranteed. Everything they do puts the beers, members and customers first. And that makes a huge difference — it’s what makes it a stunning success.

Hoorn is the place to be every third Wednesday for some of the best beer tasting events you’re likely to attend. Recommended.

Beer enthusiasts set sail for the Helders Bier Festival: celebrating another successful year

Celebrating the best of Dutch beer at Helders Bier Festival

Celebrating the best of Dutch beer festivals in 2023 is the fifth edition of Helders Bier Festival in Den Helder. Over the years, this distinctive event has gained a formidable reputation. Its fresh approach is always enjoyable and rewarding for visitors. Location, intimacy and high-calibre breweries create a special ambience, unlike any other. Helders Bier Festival is loved by locals and dedicated out-of-town beer enthusiasts.

Helders Bier Festival feels like an indoor garden party curated by food and drink experts. It’s a good-natured storm of welcoming rowdiness. So come and enjoy the relaxed, pleasant environment and friendly atmosphere. Excellent organisation at this level is unusual: well-considered and well-planned.

As Fruity Monkey Beer’s home-city event, will be pouring tropical taste delights. Swing by and say hello to the team from the nearby Monkey House. And enjoy fruity-fresh flavour adventures!

Den Helder’s industrial-chic destination

A mere 75 minutes from Amsterdam, the port city of Den Helder is home to around 50,000 people. Most city visitors are en route to Texel, the nearby wildlife and leisure-pursuit island. But many stop to explore the city’s nineteenth-century history and industrial chic.

The Netherlands has a rich maritime past, and Den Helder remains the navy’s operational centre. For tourists, the city’s beating heart is Willemsoord, the former naval dockyard. The area’s recent gentrification is impressive. Today’s features include many of Napoleon’s early dockyard designs and a modern maritime museum. Alongside many other attractions, such as Theater de Kampanje – the jewel in Willemsoord’s crown.

Theater de Kampanje’s urban design

This former maritime building is home to the annual Helders Bier Festival. Once called the Koninklijke Marine Stadshal, Theater de Kampanje retains its character. It is an historic masterpiece of seafaring industry.

Theater de Kampanje sits between historic ships and nautical monuments. It houses a multi-use theatre, conference centre and event facility for up to around 2,000 people. The building’s adaptive reuse won a 2016 Arie Keppler Prize. An award for exemplary achievements in social and environmental architecture and authentic, sympathetic urban design.

Enjoy beers, bites and banging tunes

The light, airy and stylish main hall at Theater de Kampanje is ideal for a beer festival. Held over two days, Helders Bier Festival is a celebration of superb local and international beer. There is top music and excellent food too. Unlike other Dutch beer festivals, Helders Bier Festival caters for every taste. Wine from Tap & Joy, Molotov Cocktails and cider are available too.

And then there is Fruity Monkey Beer. As a local beer producer with an international presence, we are proud to represent Den Helder.

Helders Bier Festival is a masterclass in relaxation. The layout encourages interaction with brewers and conversation with other festival-goers. Settle into an abundance of comfortable seating and savour the best beers around.

Celebrating the best of Dutch beer (and international too)

Local beer producers from the Noordkop region around Den Helder are well-represented. We are there, of course. Fruity Monkey Beer visitors can enjoy Coconut & Vanilla, Passion Fruit, Peach, Raspberry or Strawberry. And there is My Oathkeeper, our popular Imperial Oatmeal Stout collaboration with Piggy Brewing from France. We are also tapping several other Piggy collaborations, which are only available on draft at festivals and events.

Other Noordkop favourites include Stadsbrouwerij Helderse Jongens, Brouwerij Stokerij Texel, Callantsoger Bier, Ouwe Skilder Brouwerij, STOKED! and Brouwerij Egmond.

Brewing in other parts of the Netherlands is represented too. Haarlem (Uiltje Brewing Company), Bodegraven (Brouwerij De Molen), Harlingen (Havenbrouwerij Het Brouwdok) and Amsterdam (Brouwerij Het Paleisje). Amsterdam’s renowned Foeders also presents IPAs, Dark Beers, Sours and classic styles.

International beer is also a key feature at the Helders Bier Festival. From the USA, Stone Brewing represent brewing talent from across the pond. As do Dutch-US importers All Kinds Of Beers, who present a well-curated selection of the finest Stateside beers. Regular Helders Bier Festival attendees from Italy include Mister B and Canediguerra. Belgian favourites St. Bernardus are regulars too, and always popular.

Within easy reach

Celebrating the best of Dutch beer festivals in Den Helder is easy. The city is reached by direct train from Amsterdam. Theater de Kampanje is only a few minutes’ walk from the station. Helders Bier Festival is open on Friday 15 September (15:00–22:00) and Saturday 16 September (13:00–20:00). Tickets are €15 in advance and €17.50 on the door. Entry includes a tasting glass and two tokens. Buy your tickets here.

Set sail for Herberg de Compagnie: the distinctive food and local beer experience in Enkhuizen

Beer & Food Paired in a Dutch restaurant

With appetising dishes from the kitchen and Fruity Monkey Beer on the menu, Enkhuizen visitors and locals can experience Dutch beer food pairing excellence at Herberg de Compagnie during the hotel, restaurant and bar’s 10th anniversary year.

Tourists flow into Enkhuizen because of its maritime history. For 100 years or more the Dutch East India Company criss-crossed the globe from Enkhuizen. From its harbour, trading ships sailed to Asia with European goods, ideas and culture. And tropical flavours drifted back into Dutch taste consciousness.

Its strategic maritime location helped Enkhuizen gain city status over 650 years ago. And it remained one of the most important cities in the Netherlands for centuries. The tide may have turned on its fortunes as a port, but Enkhuizen remains a haven for exquisite food and drink.

From its location on the outer harbour, Herberg de Compagnie steers a well curated menu. For more than a decade, this hotel, restaurant and bar has welcomed drinkers, diners and guests. It sails against the wind to offer superb food and distinctive local beers.

With 26 beers on tap, and around 60 in bottles, Herberg de Compagnie offers something special. A unique food and drink experience on the waterfront overlooking the Ijsselmeer.

Herberg de Compagnie’s name references Enkhuizen’s history and the Dutch East India Company. Its literal meaning is the ‘inn’ or ‘hostel’ of ‘the Company’. Close your eyes and take an imaginary voyage back in time to Dutch inns of a bygone age. Warm, cosy, welcoming and friendly, with hearty food and refreshing ales. Now open your eyes; today’s Herberg de Compagnie matches that description, exactly.

Excellent food tastes even better with the perfect beer pairing. Herberg de Compagnie’s kitchen and grill serves honest, appetising dishes for all tastes. While its bar — known as the ‘beer pub of West Friesland’ — stocks almost every beer style and flavour.

Pairing food with the right beer for a unique taste experience is easy at Herberg de Compagnie. With Fruity Monkey on the menu, diners can complement their meals with a renowned local beer. Luscious Peach, Strawberry or Passion Fruit flavours go well with almost any dish — any time of year.

Rich, full-bodied fruity-fresh flavour adventures are the perfect meal accompaniment, ideal for Dutch-beer food pairing. And having tropical flavours on the menu harks back to Enkhuizen’s trading past. Ships laden with a worldful of unique flavours once moored near today’s Herberg de Compagnie.

Find Herberg de Compagnie near Enkhuizen station and the Ijsselmeer ferry crossing. Now an inland sea, the Ijsselmeer once formed part the North Sea until Dutch engineers dyked it. That was almost 100 years ago. With such rich history nearby, Herberg de Compagnie is the ideal place to begin exploring.

So batten down the hatches for an enjoyable visit to Herberg de Compagnie. With Fruity Monkey Beer at the helm and a high-quality kitchen aft, set sail for an amazing experience.

Discovering Great British Beer tastes: Fruity Monkey Beer at GBBF, CAMRA’s main London festival

Great British Beer festival (GBBF) for discovering tastes

Fruity Monkey Beer is discovering Great British Beer tastes at GBBF. The Great British Beer Festival is in London, 1–5 august at Olympia. And we’ll be there for a visit to see what it’s all about.

Beer culture in the UK is among the strongest in the world. The UK’s official name is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. And it has its own beer styles and customs. Whether England, Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland, each region offers distinctive style variations.

Although it was once called Real Ale, the UK’s most well-known beer style is now known as Live Beer. The Great British Beer festival is thus the Live Beer Experience. Live Beer is usually low in carbonation and lower in alcohol that beers from elsewhere in Europe or the USA. Brewers use traditional ingredients and mature the Live Beer through secondary fermentation. This must happen in the vessel from which pubs and bars serve the beer – usually a cask. Most important: publicans dispense Live Beer without extraneous carbon dioxide. There are many Live beer styles. Drinkers enjoy bitters, golden ales, traditional IPAs, milds, pale ales, porters and stouts.

The Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) is the UK’s largest single-issue consumer group. It represents the interests of Live Beer. It protects pubs, breweries, beers and drinkers’ rights. CAMRA also runs the Great British Beer festival.It’s where people in the capital, London, discover great British beer, cider and perry tastes.

But it’s not all live beer. CAMRA also represents cider and perry – apple- or pear-based beverages. These are the UK’s traditional ‘fruit beers’, although they are not brewed per se. They are natural, historic and need few steps to produce. Makers of cider and perry use only fresh apple and pear juice and yeast, natural or added. That is it. There is no added CO2. Although extra fruit flavours are sometimes added.

Ciders and perry abound at GBBF. And there is an increasing number of craft, artisanal and traditional beers. There include beers and other beverages from mainland Europe and the USA. GBBF visitors can enjoy a few fruit beers too.

Fruity Monkey Beer is about the swing into the UK drinks market. Its crisp, clean, comforting flavours are ideal. They are popular with beer drinkers and pub or bar regulars who prefer another taste. Drinkers of wine, cocktails or spirits love Fruity Monkey Beer. It suits a broad range of UK beverage consumers in all four nations. Fruity Monkey Beer already sells in diverse markets.

This is Fruity Monkey Beer’s first visit to the Great British Beer festival. But GBBF visitors are unable to try the fruity-fresh flavour adventures this year. But we are present all week to speak with hospitality, importers and distributors. The demand for Fruity Monkey Beer in the UK is growing. So, we aim to meet suitable partners to help Fruity Monkey swing across the north sea into new markets.

Finding the best beer in Haarlem is easy with Fruity Monkey Beer at Bar Boeff

Two bottles of the best beer in Haarlem at Bar Boeff

Find the best beer in Haarlem at Bar Boeff, the city’s cosiest living room. Relax in the bar’s comfortable embrace and enjoy a sense of adventure with Fruity Monkey Beer. Feel at home in the inimitable ambience and savour the exciting, distinct beer range.

Haarlem was home to a vibrant Dutch brewing industry for centuries. Thanks to the city’s position near the North Sea sand dunes, which acted as water filters. By the 17th century, over a hundred breweries in the city brewed using clean water from beneath the dunes. Within a couple of hundred years, they’d all closed.

Nowadays, a handful of successful craft beer breweries operate in Haarlem. But remnants of the city’s beer-related past are everywhere. Beer and brewing heritage remain important to the city’s culture and identity. Several of Haarlem’s craft breweries are among the most well-known in The Netherlands. And Haarlem’s nightlife reflects its past, but with today’s contemporary approach to comfort.

Fruity Monkey Beer in Haarlem at Bar Boeff

Bar Boeff offers visitors a range of exclusive tastes and unforgettable flavours. Including North Holland’s fruity-fresh flavour sensations, which excite customers and staff. In Bar Boeff, Fruity Monkey Beer has found a kindred spirit. Both are discerning rascals putting high quality food and drinks first. Fruity Monkey Beer’s mischievous, playfulness feels right at home in Haarlem’s living room.

A short stroll from the city’s historic heart, this city-centre bar exemplifies ‘gezelligheid’. It is a casual, welcoming, sociable, cosy place to gather and enjoy great beers. Beer-lovers enjoying the range of special beers are sure of a memorable experience.

Bar Boeff aims to be unique, a goal it achieves with ease. It offers lucky customers a beer selection they cannot find elsewhere in Haarlem. Bar Boeff skips ubiquitous, generic brands and offers a well-curated beer menu instead. Fruity Monkey Beer is on the menu, of course.

Bar Boeff also does something few other bars do. And that’s what makes it special. It follows a model found in many other European countries, but rarely seen in the Netherlands. Customers can inspect the cans and bottles arranged on the bar before choosing what to drink. That makes a huge difference to discerning drinkers. Bar Boeff ensures customers choose the perfect beer every time.

Fruity Monkey Beer accompanies delicious dishes and unique cocktails. Both of which are Bar Boeff’s specialities. Lower-alcohol organic fruit beer made using 98% natural ingredients has a broad appeal. Not too sweet, bitter or sour, Fruity Monkey complements Bar Boeff’s impressive reputation.

With Haarlem a firm Dutch favourite for beer-tourists, Bar Boeff is a go-to destination. Its success is combining a home-from-home atmosphere with inviting food and drink. So, if you’re looking for the best beers in Haarlem, swing by Bar Boeff at Kleine Houtstraat 58.

While in the snug embrace of Bar Boeff’s Chesterfield sofa, try a Fruity Monkey Beer adventure. It is like taking a voyage to tropical lands without leaving home.
