Jaap Sachats is a homebrewing operation based in Valkenswaard, in the Dutch province of North Brabant. The brewery is the project of Jaap Schats, a passionate homebrewer who has channelled his love for craft beer into producing small-batch specialty beers. Rooted in the local brewing culture of the Netherlands, Jaap Sachats represents the growing wave of dedicated home and microbrewers who bring genuine craftsmanship to their beers. The brewery's portfolio centres around Belgian-inspired styles, with Hop de Statie serving as a notable example — a Belgian Pale Ale that showcases the brewer's appreciation for fruity aromas and classic Belgian brewing traditions. The beers reflect a hands-on, artisanal approach where attention to ingredients such as hop varieties and malt selection plays a central role in the final character of each brew.

The brewery is part of the vibrant Dutch craft beer scene, contributing to the rich tapestry of independent brewers across the Netherlands.
