Moersleutel Craft Brewery

Anyone who thinks that beer and technology have nothing to do with each other has not yet met the team at the Dutch brewery Moersleutel. The brewers like to call themselves beer engineers and see the process from initial planning to the finished beer as a technical feat that is not dissimilar to the development of a sophisticated device. The brewery chose its name and logo to match this philosophy: The term Moersleutel is the Dutch equivalent of the German wrench and one can be found on every bottle and can.

Family matter

There are four brothers behind the young label. Although their father ran a small brewery, his sons pursued a completely different direction: they all chose technical careers and studied to work in this field. In their youthful recklessness, they believed that they were superior to their father in everything. Of course, this also applied to brewing. Her father didn't just put up with her arrogance and challenged her to a bitter duel. The first attempt went terribly wrong. The brothers' first work could easily be described as dishwater, but Dad proved to be a good winner and taught his sons his craft. With new enthusiasm, the four learned how to brew from scratch and a short time later were ready to present a new brew. They ventured into the Dutch beer market with a rich imperial stout and were rewarded with success. Because their ambition had only now really been ignited, they tinkered with the recipe until it was absolutely perfect. They stuck to this method: Even if the first version of a beer is already pretty good, the brewers strive to make the second and third editions even better.

Beer with technology and technology for beer

Today Pim, Tom, Rob and Max are their own bosses and the brains behind Moersleutel. The brewery was officially founded in 2016, when the phase of experimentation had produced a solid basic range. Today, brewers make very different beers and let their imagination run wild. The four of them prefer heavy hop bombs, delicious collaborations, super seasonal items and complex creations. At Moersleutel, the entire family pitches in. Dad helps when things get stuck in the brewery and mom Margreet is the expert when it comes to computer stuff. By the way, the boys' technical background is their second mainstay: the four design machines for the brewery and work to make life easier for their colleagues.
