Brouwerij De Fontein is an independent brewery located in Stein, in the Dutch province of Limburg. The brewery was founded in 2003 by Rik and Lonneke Brouns, making it one of the established craft breweries in the southern Netherlands. The name of the brewery carries historical significance, rooted in the local identity and heritage of the region, as the founders have noted the importance of paying respect to history while combining it with modern brewing knowledge and techniques. Brewery De Fontein is known for producing distinctive regional beers that reflect the character of Limburg. One notable example from their portfolio is the Roerdaler Gagelbier, a traditional-style beer brewed with bog myrtle (sweetgale), a historic herb used in brewing long before hops became the standard bittering agent. This willingness to explore traditional and local ingredients underlines the brewery's commitment to craftsmanship and regional brewing culture. The brewery also serves as a production partner for other brewing initiatives, such as scaling up test batches for neighbouring brewing projects in the region. Brouwerij De Fontein operates from its address at Ondergenhousweg 15 in Stein and has a clear focus on social impact alongside its brewing activities. The brewery remains an independent, proudly Limburgian producer and is recognised as one of the active craft breweries contributing to the vibrant beer scene in the south of the Netherlands.
