Stadsbrouwerij De Goudsche Leeuw was a microbrewery rooted in the historic city of Gouda, in the Zuid-Holland province of the Netherlands. The brewery has a layered history: it was first established in 1999, experienced a temporary closure, and was relaunched in 2012. It operated as one of Gouda's distinctive local craft beer producers until it permanently closed its doors in 2023, leaving behind a legacy tied closely to the identity of its home city. The brewery was particularly known for its Goudsch Kuyt, a beer brewed according to a medieval recipe dating back to the fifteenth century. This blonde, fresh, and highly drinkable beer became a signature of the brewery and a nod to Gouda's rich brewing heritage. The portfolio reflected a commitment to locally inspired brewing, with recipes and names rooted in the city's history and culture. One of the brewery's notable achievements was winning recognition with its Gouda750 beer, a special brew created to celebrate the 750th anniversary of the city of Gouda. This commemorative release highlighted the brewery's role as a true city brewery, deeply intertwined with local pride and community.
