Cockroach Brew is a Dutch craft beer brand founded in 2024, operating as a contract brewer — meaning it rents brewing capacity at existing breweries rather than maintaining its own facility. Despite being one of the newer names in the Dutch craft beer scene, the brand has quickly built a presence on platforms like Instagram and Untappd, where beer enthusiasts follow its releases closely. Its label design is handled by Bieretiketten.nl, giving the brand a recognisable visual identity from the start. Cockroach Brew's portfolio leans into modern craft styles. One of its signature beers is the Cliffwalker, a double dry-hopped New England IPA (NEIPA) known for its hazy appearance and aromatic hop character — a style that has gained a strong following in the contemporary Dutch craft beer world. The brand also brews seasonal styles, including a Herfstbok (autumn bock) coming in at 7.2% ABV, showing a willingness to explore traditional Dutch seasonal brewing alongside modern hop-forward styles. Although Cockroach Brew is still in its early stages, it has already secured shelf space at specialist craft beer retailers across the Netherlands. Its beers have been spotted at outlets in cities including Middelburg, pointing to a growing distribution network. With a bold name and an adventurous approach to brewing, Cockroach Brew is one to watch in the Dutch independent beer scene.
