Known for a full range of styles

Founded in 2001 in the oldest part of Amsterdam, Brouwerij De Prael is built around work: the people who brew the beer, cook and pour are mostly colleagues who find it hard to get a place on the regular job market, and the brewery is part of Social Capital. Brewery and taproom sit at Oudezijds Armsteeg. Since 2018 a second location in The Hague, at Esperantoplein, brews its own beers, among them the Haegsche Prael. Both taprooms pour a fixed core line plus rotating beers.

How we measure this

Two thresholds are at work here:

  • The signature list shows notes that recur in at least 6% of this brewery's beers. A low bar — enough to flag a pattern, not high enough to call it an exclusive trait.
  • The peer comparison below shows only notes where this brewery's coverage differs from similar breweries by at least 20 percentage points. A higher bar — enough to call a real difference, not a nudge.

A note can appear on the signature list without appearing in the peer comparison: it recurs here, but similar breweries do the same thing.
