Rauw Brouwers is a craft brewery based in Amsterdam, Noord-Holland, Netherlands, established in 2017. The name 'Rauw' — Dutch for 'raw' — signals the brewery's no-nonsense philosophy: straightforward, drinkable beer without unnecessary frills. The brand was founded with a clear identity rooted in Amsterdam's vibrant craft beer scene, offering beers with sharp, bold names that reflect the same unfiltered attitude as the liquid inside the can or bottle. The brewery's portfolio spans a range of styles, including wheat beers such as a Kristallweizen, stouts including a high-ABV Russian Imperial Milk Stout at 10.5%, and other craft styles. Rather than maintaining their own large-scale production facility, Rauw Brouwers collaborates with partner breweries — among them Brouwerij De Proef — to brew their recipes at volume, while keeping full creative control over the recipes. Their beers are known for being unfiltered and characterful, staying true to the 'rauw' identity. Rauw Brouwers operates its own proeflokaal (taproom) in Amsterdam, where visitors can sample their lineup directly from the source. With around seven beers in their catalogue and a presence on platforms like Untappd and BeerAdvocate, the brewery has built a modest but loyal following among Dutch craft beer enthusiasts.
