Brouwerij Astronaut is a craft brewery based in Alkmaar, in the Dutch province of North Holland. The brewery was founded in 2018, when a group of friends from Alkmaar came up with the idea during a shared beer tasting session. That spontaneous moment of inspiration grew into a passion project that has since become part of Alkmaar's growing craft beer scene, alongside other local breweries such as De Moersleutel and Brouwerij Zeglis. With a nod to tradition and an eye for innovation, the friends behind Brouwerij Astronaut develop their beers themselves. The brewery is known for crafting specialty beers that reflect both creativity and a strong local identity. Their approach combines classic brewing techniques with a willingness to experiment, resulting in beers that stand out within the North Holland craft beer landscape. Brewery Astronaut has also shown a talent for collaboration and community engagement. In 2026, they brewed a special beer to celebrate AZ Alkmaar's cup final appearance, a project that attracted regional media attention. The brewery is also involved in local events such as the RAGweek festival, further cementing their role as an active and enthusiastic part of the Alkmaar community.
