Women who brew, we love that!
Thank you dear , for preceding us in the brewing process and brewing beer with love, dedication and sense of precision back in the 16th century in the heart of Amsterdam.
The beer world is a pretty masculine world, we are therefore super proud of all the women who are committed to good beer and with passion make the beer world a little more feminine (and therefore more beautiful).
Love, Do and Tessel from Gebrouwen door Vrouwen (an Amsterdam-based beer brand founded in 2015)
