La Trappe Blonde

The Netherlands may be home to giants like Heineken, Grolsch and Bavaria, but its beer culture goes far beyond mainstream lagers. A lively craft scene has taken root, with dozens of microbreweries producing everything from crisp witbier to rich seasonal bocks.

Dutch brewing also embraces international influences: Belgian‑style top‑fermented ales, British‑inspired bitters and modern experimental releases. The country’s Trappist heritage remains anchored by La Trappe, the Netherlands’ sole authentic Trappist brewery.
