Brouwerij De Hoppenaar

Brouwerij De Hoppenaar, commonly shortened to De Hoppenaar, is a Dutch specialty beer business operating an online shop, a physical store, a tasting room (proeflokaal), a gatehouse venue (poortwachtershuis) and a wholesale arm. Its website presents it as a curated retailer of craft and specialty beer rather than a conventional production brewery: the homepage leads with a webshop, a shop visit option, a tasting room, a gatehouse and a wholesale portal, and it advertises free delivery from €80 within the Netherlands, fast shipping, weekly arrivals of dozens of new beers and shipping within Europe. The range is international and heavily focused on modern craft styles — hazy and double/triple IPAs, barrel-aged stouts and other high-abv specialties — sourced from breweries in the United States and elsewhere. Examples visible in the shop include Brujos (Portland, Oregon) Double IPA and Triple IPA releases, a Brujos x Omnipollo collaboration, Goose Island Bourbon County Brand Reserve and River North Anniversary 14 barrel-aged stout. The business also runs an age-verification gate for alcohol sales, a newsletter with a discount incentive aimed at American and Canadian beer, and a loyalty-style anniversary promotion. Wikidata records it simply as a brewery in the Netherlands, and the brand's own materials describe a five-year anniversary, indicating a relatively young company. Because the evidence describes a multi-channel beer retailer and wholesaler rather than a producer of its own house beers, it is best classified as a specialty beer retailer/private-label style operation.

De Hoppenaar is a Dutch specialty beer business whose public presence is built around a webshop at hoppenaar.nl. The company describes itself as a destination for specialty beer, offering an online shop, a physical store, a tasting room and a gatehouse venue, plus a wholesale channel. Its homepage promotes free delivery from €80 within the Netherlands, fast shipping, weekly additions of dozens of new beers and shipping within Europe, and it operates an age-verification gate confirming customers are 18 or older. The assortment is international and craft-focused: the shop highlights American breweries such as Brujos of Portland, Oregon (known for hazy IPAs, DIPAs and TIPAs with occult-themed labels), collaborations such as Brujos x Omnipollo, Goose Island's Bourbon County Brand Reserve, and River North's barrel-aged Anniversary series. Product pages give detailed specifications — style, alcohol percentage, volume, packaging, country and barrel-aging status — and reference Untappd ratings, indicating a consumer base that follows craft-beer rating culture. The business also runs a newsletter offering a 10% discount code on American and Canadian beer, and a September anniversary promotion giving a free can of beer with orders from €55.55, marking the company's fifth anniversary. Wikidata records the entity simply as a brewery in the Netherlands. The available evidence does not disclose a founding year, founders, ownership structure or a house brewing programme, so those details remain unconfirmed.
