Nootsaeck Bock is brewed by Streekbrouwerij Achterhoek in Doetinchem, a regional brewery born from a group of friends who gathered for beer and snacks after swimming sessions. The brewery name reflects that tradition—'nootjes' means nuts in Dutch.

This bock beer is crafted with two different malted grains that deliver a soft, full-bodied character. Cascade and Challenger hops from nearby Zieuwent provide bitterness and aroma. At 7.5% alcohol, it's a substantial yet approachable beer that pairs well with game dishes and winter occasions.
