Brouwerij Bolschout is a Dutch brewery based in Almere, in the province of Flevoland. What makes it stand out from the start is its distinctive identity: the brewery was founded by a Belgian brewer who set out to craft genuine Dutch regional beer. This cross-border inspiration is captured in the brewery's motto — "Neerlandsch bier door een Belg gebrouwen" (Dutch beer brewed by a Belgian) — giving Bolschout a character that bridges two rich brewing traditions. The first batches were shared among friends, who responded with such enthusiasm that demand grew rapidly, setting the brewery on a path toward becoming a fully-fledged regional beer brand. Bolschout's portfolio reflects a diverse range of beer styles, with an ambition to represent the best of Dutch regional brewing. The lineup includes beers such as Belga, Hopvol, Blom, Ster, and an Urtyp, covering styles from hop-forward ales to a bockbier. The Bolschout Ster, for instance, is a 6.0% bockbier noted for its complex character, with tasting notes of fruit, wood, herbs, malt, and smoke. Bolschout also brews on behalf of other breweries, demonstrating its technical range and capacity. An online webshop has been active since 2015, making its beers accessible beyond the local Almere market.
