Bontekoe is a Dutch beer brand whose name is derived from the Kamers van de Verenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie (VOC), the historic Dutch East India Company. The brand was introduced in 2010 as a new beer line under the label d'Bontekoe by Brouwerij Florindia, a Dutch brewery that chose this historically resonant name to connect its beers to the rich maritime and trading heritage of the Netherlands. The name itself refers to a famous VOC ship and evokes the golden age of Dutch seafaring exploration. The d'Bontekoe beer line was launched as part of Brouwerij Florindia's expanded portfolio, aiming to bring new Dutch craft beers to market under a distinctive and historically inspired identity. While detailed information about the full range of bierstijlen within the Bontekoe line is limited, the brand positions itself within the tradition of Dutch brewing, drawing on the country's deep-rooted beer culture to craft beers with a recognizable national character. The Bontekoe name also appears in connection with Dutch beer culture more broadly, including a biercafé on Texel bearing a similar name. The brand reflects a growing interest in regionally and historically inspired Dutch craft brewing, combining storytelling with a passion for quality bieren.
