Zwarte Parochie is a small-scale craft brewery based in the heart of Almelo, in the Dutch province of Overijssel. Operating under the full name De Almelosche Bierbrouwerij, the brewery is housed in a characterful former haberdashery on the Grotestraat 48 — a historic address that adds to the distinctive atmosphere of the operation. The brewery is also home to its own tasting room, Proeflokaal de Zwarte Parochie, where visitors can step directly into the world of locally brewed beer. Zwarte Parochie focuses on small-batch, artisan brewing and offers a varied portfolio of beer styles. The brewery is known for seasonal and specialty brews, and based on available sources, produces styles that include a Tripel — pointing to a tradition of Belgian-inspired, bottle-conditioned brewing. The tasting room serves as a social hub for beer enthusiasts in Almelo, combining the craft of brewing with an accessible and welcoming taproom experience in the city centre. The brewery also operates a whisky bar alongside the tasting room, making it a destination for both beer and spirits lovers. Zwarte Parochie is a proud local institution, contributing to the growing craft beer scene in the east of the Netherlands.
