Brouwerij De Prael is a brewery and social enterprise founded in 2002 in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The brainchild of Arno Kooy and Fer Kok — both amateur brewers and professionals working in psychiatry — De Prael was built on a unique dual mission: crafting quality craft beer while providing meaningful employment for people with a distance to the labour market. From the very beginning, the brewery has been as much about people as it is about beer, making it one of Amsterdam's most distinctive brewing stories. De Prael draws inspiration from Dutch, Belgian, and German brewing traditions, producing a diverse portfolio of specialty beers that reflect the rich heritage of European brewing culture. The brewery prides itself on maintaining a brewing process that echoes centuries-old methods, keeping beer history alive in the heart of Amsterdam. Their range spans various styles, offering something for both the seasoned beer enthusiast and the curious newcomer. With locations in Amsterdam and a former outpost in Groningen, De Prael has grown into a recognisable name in the Dutch craft beer scene. The Amsterdam brewery offers an immersive taproom experience, including brewery tours, making it a popular destination for locals and tourists alike. As a social brewery, De Prael continues to combine its passion for great beer with a meaningful societal mission.
