About

Van Vollenhoven Falcon Ale represents a historic Dutch beer brand rooted in 18th-century Amsterdam, now revived by Brouwerij Poesiat & Kater. The Falcon line began around 1791 and became so successful that it was eventually licensed for export to competitor breweries during the 1960s. At 6.2% ABV, this pale ale balances heritage brewing with contemporary craft sensibilities. Poesiat & Kater honours the original Van Vollenhoven brewery's legacy by brewing from classical recipes while also exploring modern styles. The brewery, opened in 2017, draws on scientific brewing methods and respects for tradition. This ale exemplifies the house philosophy: blending Dutch brewing heritage with present-day craft beer culture.
