Local Brewed Dutch Beers

The relatively large assortment of beers served in the tasting room varies both in taste, color and alcohol percentage. It is striking that the brewery not only brews Dutch and Belgian styles, but also German styles such as Kölsch.

In addition to a few seasonal beers, Prael also brews on behalf of third parties.

The Social Function Of This Amsterdam Beer Brewery

People with a disabilities work in this Amsterdam beer brewery, these are people who generally find it hard to find work elsewhere.

This the social function of the brewery. De Prael Amsterdam was the first Dutch brewery to opt for this way of working. The Breugems Brewery in Zaandam has since imitated the idea.
