Alfa Bier is a family-owned independent brewery located in Schinnen, in the Dutch province of Limburg. Founded in 1870, the brewery has been passed down from generation to generation, staying true to its roots by brewing with pure spring water and the finest ingredients. It is one of the few remaining truly independent breweries in the Netherlands, a distinction that sets it apart in an increasingly consolidated beer landscape. Alfa's portfolio is anchored by its bottom-fermented lagers, brewed in the Bavarian tradition. Its flagship Edel Pils is known for its hoppy character, finishing with a lightly bitter, dry aftertaste and a full, fresh-fruity flavour. The brewery's commitment to traditional brewing methods, combined with natural spring water sourced locally in Limburg, gives its beers a distinctive and consistent profile that has earned a loyal following both regionally and nationally. Over the decades, Alfa Bier has grown from a local Limburg favourite into a nationally recognised brand, and has also expanded into export markets. The brewery has won awards for its pilsner, earning recognition as one of the best in the world. Visitors can experience the brand's rich heritage firsthand at the Alfa Brouwerijcafé, where the full range of Alfa beers is available alongside a taste of the family's brewing history.
