Overview
Brouwerij Avereest is a Dutch craft brewery based in Dedemsvaart, in the Reestdal region of the Netherlands. It opened in 2017, according to Wikidata, and presents itself as a young brewery with great ambition. The brewery's name and identity are tied to the historical brewing tradition of the Avereest area: its own account states that after more than a hundred years of absence, craft brewing returned to the Reestdal, referencing brewer Roelof Veeningen who in 1818 supplied peat workers with their beloved drink. The modern brewery continues that history by brewing artisan specialty beers in Dedemsvaart from start to finish, and it is known for its craftsmanship and very high quality specialty beers. The brewery produces a wide range of beer styles, including Klungel (Kuitbier), Pippi (India Pale Ale), Rooie Sien (New England IPA), Turfbok (autumn bock), Lanter Fanter (Dunkel Weizen), Mafkees (Weizen Spelt), Eigen Wiez (Rye Weizen), Volbloed (Dubbel), Koukleum (winter beer), Hopbubbels (summer beer), Malloot (Imperial IPA), Zwarte Turf (Extra Stout), Avereester (Edel Pils / Premium Pilsener), and Lentegenot (spring beer). Its flagship or best-known beers include Dikke Bolle, Blonde Bertha, and Pippi, each with a distinct character and marketing story. Dikke Bolle is described as a powerful bull with a matching beer type, best enjoyed slowly and also good with bitterballen. Blonde Bertha is a somewhat sweet blonde that leaves a lasting impression. Pippi is an IPA presented as an ode to Pippi Longstocking, with the motto that one can take life seriously with a cheerful face. The brewery sells its beers through its own shop, as indicated by repeated "Shop in the winkel!" calls on its website. It operates in the Netherlands and positions itself as an artisan, high-quality specialty beer producer rooted in local history. Ownership, founders, and exact corporate structure are not specified in the available evidence. The brand remains active and continues to build on the Reestdal brewing heritage.
History
