VAT'33
VAT'33 is a beer brand from Amersfoort in the Netherlands, born in the Vathorst district, where the Tjaps pub (23 taps, open since October 2021) and the Hoptimaal bottle shop share an address. It began when a house witbier was wanted for Tjaps and the owner of Eembier offered to brew it. VAT'33 has no brewhouse of its own and brews as a tenant brewer at Rock City in Amersfoort. The core range stays with the classics, with bolder beers and collaborations alongside.

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.
