Pontus Brewing is an Amsterdam-based Dutch craft beer brand founded in 2013 as a gypsy brewery — meaning it produced its beers at existing brewing facilities rather than operating its own brewhouse. From the start, the brand positioned itself as a young, playful, and contemporary label within the Dutch craft beer scene. In 2019, Pontus Brewing was acquired by Naeckte Brouwers, a fellow Dutch craft brewer, which allowed the brand to continue growing under new ownership while retaining its distinctive identity. The portfolio spans a varied range of styles, reflecting the creative and experimental nature of the brand. Known offerings include the Megalodon Stout, a robust Imperial Stout clocking in at 9.5% ABV, and Captain Goatee, a Bock at 7% ABV. Pontus Brewing also produces Fruit IPAs, and is recognised as one of Europe's notable private-label suppliers in that category. The combination of hop-forward and malt-driven styles demonstrates the brand's range across both lighter and heavier beer styles.
