Twaalf Gemeten is the flagship of Brouwerij Solaes, located on the island of Goeree-Overflakkee in South Holland. This is a robust, warming beer at 12% ABV that makes its strength known. The brewery, housed in a converted chicory factory in Ouddorp, has built its reputation on beers that embody a distinctly local character: a touch rough around the edges, but with genuine warmth.

Twaalf Gemeten fits that philosophy—a beer with substance and personality, meant to be savoured slowly. At its elevated alcohol level, it stands among the heavier offerings in Solaes's range.
