Butcher's Tears is an independent microbrewery based in Amsterdam, Netherlands, located on an industrial estate near the Haarlemmermeer station in the city's south. The brewery has built a reputation as a fiercely independent operation with a stubborn soul, forging a strong connection with beer historian Ron Pattinson and drawing inspiration from obscure historical European and British ale traditions. Its taproom on Karperweg 45 offers a no-frills experience: no flashy décor, no hectic crowds — just exceptional beer in an unpretentious setting accessible by public transport. Butcher's Tears brews a range of characterful beers that push boundaries and explore the edges of style. Their portfolio leans heavily on European and UK-inspired ales, saisons, and experimental brews with unconventional names — a hallmark of the brewery's personality. Signature beers include the Lipreader IPA and the Green Cap Saison, both celebrated among Amsterdam's craft beer community. The brewery also produces barrel-aged and reserve releases, such as the Ex Voto Reserve Cognac BA, demonstrating a commitment to complex, layered fermentation. Butcher's Tears has participated in events like Carnivale Brettanomyces, a wild beer festival dedicated to deviant fermentation, underlining its affinity for boundary-pushing brewing. The Volkskrant described their beer as 'seeking out the edges, sometimes crossing them, but always worth getting to know' — a fitting tribute to one of Amsterdam's most distinctive craft breweries.
