Bier met en zonder alcohol smaakt het best uit een schoon glas. In dit artikel lees je tips hoe je bierglazen écht goed schoon krijgt.

It's time to write down my own story. I'm regularly asked if I still drink alcohol. Since January 1, 2025, I haven't. And I'm very happy about it. Do I not have a problem with that? Of course I do. That's precisely why I'm writing this. This blog has two goals. Firstly, sharing my story helps me better cope with moments when I have a craving for a beer or something else. Secondly, I want to help others in a similar situation. I'll start with the title. There are roughly three

We have an update regarding the NVWA (Dutch Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority) fine we wrote about earlier. Last year, we received a fine of €1,565 because we had given too much of a discount on a beer with 0.8% alcohol . According to the rules, anything above 0.5% alcohol falls under alcohol legislation, and restrictions apply to discount promotions. You can read the whole story in our previous blog . In objection Naturally, we lodged an objection against the fin

When it comes to our motto, we like to compare ourselves to other companies. We're similar to Jamin in terms of product range, Hornbach in terms of pricing, and Coolblue in terms of customer service. All these companies have something we want to emulate. And when you combine all these things, you get our motto: Alcohol-free beer. Seriously good. I'd be happy to tell you how we got there. Our motto and values When it comes to our product range, we're very aware of our positio

Mindful Drinking betekent bewust omgaan met je alcoholconsumptie . Je drinkt misschien een biertje omdat het gebruikelijk is of omdat je het interessant vindt. Mindful Drinking betekent niet automatisch meedoen of zonder nadenken inschenken, maar bewust beslissen wanneer en wat je drinkt. Soms is dat een biertje met alcohol, soms niet. We zien het laatste steeds vaker. Voor veel van onze klanten gaat het niet om "nooit meer alcohol drinken". Het draait om controle . Zij besli

And Why We’ll Never Be “Just Another Webshop" How It Started For years, I stopped drinking alcohol for a fixed period every year. In the beginning, I was extremely strict. Not a drop. Not even a chocolate with liqueur. Nothing that contained even a trace of alcohol. Until one day I “accidentally” drank a Palm 0.5. I was a bit annoyed and felt cheated. But honestly? I liked it. Slowly, my view on alcohol-free beer changed. That 0.5% wasn’t a problem for me. And I started appre

Dry January lijkt simpel, maar is vaak lastiger dan gedacht. Op basis van mijn eigen ervaringen deel ik zes praktische tips om een alcoholvrije maand vol te houden. Over moeilijke momenten, afkickverschijnselen, het belang van goede alternatieven en waarom “nee is nee” cruciaal is. Nuchter, eerlijk en zonder belerend gedoe.

IPA is geen smaak, maar een categorie. West Coast IPA’s zijn helder, droog en bitter, ontstaan uit de vroege Amerikaanse craft beer-scene. East Coast IPA’s volgden als gebalanceerde tegenhanger, met meer body en minder scherpte. Later ontstond de New England IPA als aparte stijl: troebel, zacht en fruitig. Ook bij alcoholvrij geldt: de ene IPA is de andere niet.

Non-alcoholic IPAs are more popular than ever. And that's no surprise: with an IPA, extra hops help compensate for the lack of alcohol. Hops provide bitterness, aroma, and that distinct beer-like character IPA lovers crave. This top 10 includes both West Coast IPAs (drier and more bitter) and East Coast/NEIPAs (fruity, aromatic, and often a bit milder). The difference lies primarily in the hop varieties and how they're used: bittering hops, aroma hops, or a combination of b

We hear it more and more often: non-alcoholic beer simply tastes better than regular beer. That might sound bold, but there's more truth to it than you might think. Brewing without alcohol forces brewers to take greater care, select better ingredients, and be more creative. You can taste the result immediately: clear aromas, greater complexity, and a surprising amount of character.
