About

Delfts Duyvelsgat is the inaugural anniversary beer from Bierhistorie Delft, a brewery housed in a medieval cellar dating to 1300 in central Delft. This robust blonde ale at 7.5% ABV distinguishes itself through the use of gruit (gagel), a historic herbal bittering agent that graced Dutch beers long before hops became standard. The beer delivers a refined spicy finish characteristic of gruit-forward brewing. Delfts Duyvelsgat bridges Delft's storied brewing heritage—once home to over 300 breweries—with contemporary craft methods. It stands as the first in a series of anniversary beers, honouring the city's deep connection to beer culture and tradition.
