Moersleutel Craft Brewery

Anyone who thinks that beer and technology have nothing to do with each other has not met the team at the Dutch brewery Moersleutel. The brewers like to call themselves beer engineers and see the process from the initial planning to the finished beer as a technical feat not unlike 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 a German wrench, and one just like it can be found on every bottle and can.

Family matter

Four brothers are behind the young label. Although their father ran a small brewery, his sons had a completely different approach: they all chose technical professions and studied to work in this field. In their youthful recklessness, they believed they were superior to their father in everything. This of course also applied to brewing. Their father did not stand idly by and challenged them to a beer duel. The first attempt was a complete failure. The brothers' first work could easily be described as dishwater, but dad proved himself to be a good winner and taught his sons his craft. With renewed vigor, the four learned brewing from scratch and were soon 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 just been sparked, they tinkered with the recipe until it was absolutely perfect. They kept 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, the brewers make a wide variety of beers and let their imagination run wild. The four of them love heavy hop bombs, delicious collaborations, super seasonal beers and complex creations. The whole family pitches in at Moersleutel. Dad helps when things get stuck in the brewery and mom Margreet is the expert when it comes to computer stuff. Incidentally, the boys' technical background is their second source of income: the four of them design machines for the brewery and work on making life easier for their colleagues.
