Twenty-four days. Twenty-four beers. And a December full of surprises.

The Moersleutel Advent Box 2026 is built around one simple idea: you should not know exactly what is behind every door before December starts.

We are not going to spoil the whole box either. But there are a few things we can already reveal.

24 beers for your December countdown

The Advent Box contains 24 beers, creating a beer countdown for every day of December.

Instead of opening a traditional chocolate Advent calendar, you get to discover a different Moersleutel beer every day.

Some days will introduce you to new flavours. Others may reveal beers you have been waiting for. And a few doors contain beers that you would normally have a hard time getting your hands on.

Exclusive Advent releases

One of the highlights of the 2026 Advent Box is the selection of beers brewed especially for Advent.

These releases are part of what makes the box different from simply ordering a selection of beers from the webshop. The goal is to give you beers and moments that feel special to December.

Brand-new brews

The Advent Box also contains brand-new beers.

That means you can discover some of Moersleutel’s newest creations before they become widely available.

For craft beer fans, that is part of the fun: you do not know exactly what you are going to taste, but you know there is something new waiting behind the next door.

And then there is Indulgence

There is one beer in particular that deserves its own mention.

Indulgence 34 is included in the 2026 Advent Box.

The Indulgence series is normally reserved for members of The Guild. These barrel-aged stouts spend more than a year in wood before the brewers and barrel blenders create the final blend.

For 2026, Indulgence 34 is making a special appearance in the Advent Box, giving non-Guild members a chance to experience the series too.

And because the exact day remains a secret, you will have to wait until December to find it.

Three years of sold-out Advent Boxes

There is another reason not to leave your order until December.

The Moersleutel Advent Box sold out before Christmas in 2023, 2024 and 2025.

For the 2026 edition, pre-orders are therefore open ahead of time, with shipping starting in November. Ordering early means the box can arrive before 1 December, ready for the first day of your countdown.

A December ritual, not just a beer box

The Advent Box is more than 24 cans packed into one box.

It is a reason to slow down for a moment every day. Open a door. Pour a beer. Discover something new.

You can do it alone, share the countdown with friends or turn it into a daily December ritual with someone else.

And because there are no full spoilers, part of the experience is simply wondering what comes next.

24 beers. 24 December moments. One Advent Box.

The Moersleutel Advent Box 2026 is available for pre-order and ships in November, ready for the countdown to begin.

The post What’s inside the Advent Box? appeared first on Moersleutel Craft Brewery.

Some Moersleutel beers are made to be enjoyed immediately. Others take patience.

Indulgence belongs firmly in the second category.

The Indulgence series is Moersleutel’s barrel-aged stout series, normally reserved for members of The Guild. But in 2026, there is one festive exception: Indulgence 34 will be part of the Moersleutel Advent Box.

That means Advent 2026 gives non-Guild members a chance to taste a beer that would normally only reach Guild members.

More than a year in wood

Indulgence 34 is not a beer that was rushed from brewery to can.

The beer is a blend of three barrel-aged stouts, each with its own character and its own time in wood. The brewers and barrel blenders taste the individual barrels and determine the right balance for the final blend.

For Indulgence 34, Moersleutel has revealed details about two of the three barrels.

46% — 468 days in Irish whiskey barrels

Almost half of the final blend comes from stout aged for 468 days in Irish whiskey barrels.

This part of the blend brings notes of vanilla, a touch of honey and soft oak.

34% — 376 days in Scotch single malt barrels

Another 34% spent 376 days in Scotch single malt barrels.

Expect caramel, toasted oak and a cleaner whisky warmth from this part of the blend.

20% — the oldest barrel

The final 20% comes from a third barrel.

Moersleutel has revealed only one thing about it: this is the oldest part of the blend, with an impressive 533 days in wood.

The rest remains a secret until December.

A special exception for Advent

Indulgence is normally made for The Guild. The series requires time, patience and careful blending, which makes it a natural fit for a membership built around discovering beers that take a little longer to make.

But once a year, Moersleutel makes an exception.

During the festive Advent season, Indulgence becomes available to anyone who orders the 2026 Advent Box.

That makes Indulgence 34 one of the beers to look out for during this year’s countdown.

How should you drink it?

This is a beer worth slowing down for.

Moersleutel recommends pouring Indulgence 34 into a small glass and not serving it too cold. Give it some time in the glass and let the flavours develop as you drink.

It is the kind of beer that works better as a moment than as just another beer from the fridge.

And with the exact day of Indulgence 34 kept secret, you will have to wait until December to find out when the door opens.

Indulgence 34 is included in the Moersleutel Advent Box 2026, available to Guild members and non-members alike.

The post Indulgence 34 appeared first on Moersleutel Craft Brewery.

December is getting closer, and that means the Moersleutel Advent Box is getting ready to make its return. With 24 beers, exclusive releases and a few surprises along the way, the Advent Box turns the countdown to Christmas into a daily beer ritual.

But how does the Advent actually work? And what does it mean if you are already a member of The Guild?

24 beers for 24 days

The Moersleutel Advent Box contains 24 different beers, one for every day of December leading up to Christmas.

Every day brings a new can to discover. Some beers are exclusive Advent releases, while others are brand-new brews that you can taste before they become available more widely.

The idea is simple: open a door, grab a beer and make December a little more interesting.

When will the Advent Box arrive?

The Advent Box is shipped during November 2026. This means it should arrive well before 1 December, giving you plenty of time to get it ready for the countdown.

The Advent Box is shipped separately, so if you are ordering other products from the webshop, it is best to place those in a separate order.

Already a Guild member?

For members of The Guild, the Advent works a little differently.

If you are a Guild member when the December box ships, your regular December Guild box is automatically upgraded to the Advent Box. You do not need to place a separate order or reserve one.

Instead of the usual 14 beers, your December box contains 24 beers — ten extra beers for the same €96 price as a regular Guild box.

That means Guild members receive the same Advent Box that normally costs €189 when purchased separately, but pay the regular Guild box price of €96.

What is the minimum Guild membership?

There is one important condition for new Guild members.

To receive the Advent as part of your Guild membership, you need to stay a member for at least four consecutive Guild boxes, which equals eight months. This also applies if the Advent is one of those boxes.

After those four boxes, you are free to cancel whenever you want.

The rule is there to keep the Advent upgrade fair for the Guild community and prevent people from joining only for the Advent and immediately cancelling afterwards.

No extra order. No reservation. No stress.

For existing Guild members, the Advent is simply part of the December shipment. There is nothing extra to arrange.

And because the Advent Box has sold out before Christmas for three consecutive years, being a Guild member also means you do not have to worry about missing out.

Whether you are counting down to Christmas yourself or planning to share the beers with friends, the Moersleutel Advent Box is designed to turn every day of December into a new beer moment.

24 beers. 24 days. One very good reason to look forward to December.

The post How the Moersleutel Advent Box Works in 2026 appeared first on Moersleutel Craft Brewery.

After months of work, our very first national TV commercial is live. From today on, you’ll be seeing Moersleutel on TV across the Netherlands for the coming weeks.

Going on national television is a first for us. Not because we suddenly want to be something else — but because it felt like the right next step for what we already do.

From Galaxy to Grill

The film starts where our beers are born: in a slightly absurd, retro-futuristic beer engineering galaxy. A Moersleutel-shaped rocket. Beer engineers at work. The best beer in the universe being brewed.

And all of a sudden, you’re landing back on Earth.

A familiar Dutch setting. A BBQ with friends. The beer gets poured in the glass.

“Lekker.”

That contrast is exactly the point.

We engineer beers with extreme care and curiosity, so they can be enjoyed in the most normal moments possible. Complex beer engineering, simple enjoyment.

Turns out our beers are big enough for the screen too!

Our First National TV Campaign

This campaign will be airing on TV across the Netherlands for the coming weeks. If you spot us on screen, know that a lot of love, time and collaboration went into those few seconds on TV.

For everyone who’s been following Moersleutel for years: this one’s for you. Another small but meaningful step in the ongoing adventure that is our brewery.

Seeing Moersleutel on national television still feels surreal. What started as an experiment in beer engineering has now found its way into living rooms across the country, without losing sight of what matters most: making beers we love to drink ourselves.

Special Thanks

This project would not have been possible without the people below. Huge thanks to everyone involved:

• HOLY FOOLS – especially Collin Maas, Joris Dommels and Elles Markx
• Soundbloom – especially Stephanie Dufraine, Daan Duif and Manfred Roovers

De perfecte combinatie: IPA & Stout

Bij een goede bierproeverij draait alles om balans.
Start met een frisse, fruitige IPA en eindig met een donkere, romige stout.

• IPA (India Pale Ale): verfrissend, met tonen van citrus en tropisch fruit. Onze Wrench IPA is een perfecte start.

• Stout: vol, donker en complex, met tonen van koffie en chocolade. Probeer bijvoorbeeld de Motor Oil Stout – een klassieker onder de liefhebbers.

Zo maak je jouw Moersleutel bierproeverij compleet

Een geslaagde proeverij is meer dan bier alleen. Denk aan sfeer, hapjes en de juiste tools.

1. Kies je gezelschap: Vier tot zes vrienden is ideaal – genoeg om te delen en te discussiëren over smaken. Maar meer of minder mag natuurlijk ook.

2. Maak een borrelplank:

   • IPA’s combineren goed met pittige kazen, gezouten noten en crackers met frisse dips.

   • Stouts gaan heerlijk samen met pure chocolade, brownies of oude kaas.

3. Gebruik de Untappd-app: Untappd maakt het makkelijk om je bieren te beoordelen, notities te delen en scores bij te houden.

Tip: Combineer je proeverij met een rondleiding door de Moersleutel taproom voor de ultieme beleving.

Proeftips voor echte bierkenners

• Kijk: observeer kleur en schuim.

• Ruik: aroma’s van hop, mout of koffie vertellen veel.

• Proef: kleine slokjes, laat het bier rondgaan.

• Praat: ontdek samen de verschillen en overeenkomsten.

Maak er een Moersleutel moment van

Of je nu kiest voor een klassieke stout of een frisse IPA, elk Moersleutel bier vertelt een verhaal van innovatie, techniek en passie.
Plan jouw volgende Moersleutel bierproeverij en beleef samen een avond vol smaak, gezelligheid en ontdekking.

The Moersleutel Guild Box October 2025 is here — and it’s packed with exclusive craft beers brewed just for our members. With 15 bold creations, including barrel-aged stouts, juicy IPAs and two new Eureka releases, this box is your perfect pairing for the colder months.

Whether you’re in it for the big flavors, the innovative brewing or the member-only beers, this Guild Box delivers.

What’s in the October Guild Box?

This month’s selection blends comfort and boldness, with rich seasonal beers and some wild new creations. Here’s a quick overview of what’s inside:

Exclusive Eureka Experiments

Only available to Guild members, this month’s box features two brand-new Eureka releases:

• Eureka: French Breakfast Stout – Inspired by a perfect Parisian morning: coffee, croissant and a hint of fine tobacco.

• Eureka: Triple Mash IPA – Triple mashed, triple dry-hopped, and built for serious hop lovers.

Pastry Factory Favourites

• Boerenjongens Stout – Raisins treated two ways, blended with cinnamon and vanilla for a warming, spiced stout.

• Hot Hot Chocolate Marshmallow – Cacao, capsaicin, marshmallow and muscovado sugar melt into one spicy-sweet delight.

Hoppy, Juicy, Bright

• Watch – Guava, candied orange and soft bitterness, thanks to Luminosa and Mosaic.

• Stapler (Collab with Outer Range) – Triple IPA with peach, tropical nectar and punchy aroma.

• Camera (Collab with Cambier) – Mango, melon and pine.

• Triple Fruit Bomb – An amped-up version of Fruit Bomb with white grape, citrus and dank depth.

Malty, Complex, and Old-School

• Stone Quern – A quadruple-mashed quadrupel brewed with 1.2 kg of malt per litre. Rich, malty and full of history.

• Extravagant Mosaic – Mosaic-driven elegance with smooth body and big hop aroma.

We’ve always said Motor Oil should power more than just engines. So, we hacked the system: meet Motor Oil Non-Alcoholic 0.5 Stout. A rich non-alcoholic stout with all the flavor and zero of the “oops, I can’t drive home” baggage.

Order Motor Oil Non-Alcoholic 0.5 Stout here

From a Classic to a New Chapter

This isn’t just any NA beer — it’s a direct descendant of our legendary Motor Oil Imperial Stout. Motor Oil is one of our most popular brews, loved for its thick, chewy body and intense roasted character. With Motor Oil Non-Alcoholic 0.5 Stout, we challenged ourselves: could we keep the soul of the original while stripping out the alcohol?

Spoiler: yes, we could.

The Rise of Non-Alcoholic Stouts

Non-alcoholic beers are everywhere — but let’s be honest, some taste more like brown soda than beer. We weren’t having that. Our engineers spent countless hours tweaking, testing, and maybe even arguing over malt bills until we created a stout that’s actually stout-y. Dark, rich, and velvety… but safe enough for your Monday morning meeting.

How We Engineered the Flavor

Think of it as flavor tuning. We layered vanilla, tonka, and coffee, then slow-steamed raisins and cinnamon for 12 hours. (Yes, 12. We watched the clock. You’re welcome.) The Maillard reaction worked overtime, giving deep caramel and roasted notes.

Barley, rye, wheat, and hops? Of course. They keep the body full — because nobody wants a skinny stout.

Tasting Notes

• Aroma: like someone just opened a bakery inside a coffee roastery.

• Taste: roasty, layers of raisins, cinnamon rolls, bitter chocolate, a wink of vanilla.

• Mouthfeel: full, deluxe, creamy. (We triple-checked. Still stout.)

In short: it tastes like stout, not like compromise.

Anytime, Anywhere

Designated driver? Big presentation tomorrow? Just want to avoid karaoke decisions after midnight? Motor Oil Non-Alcoholic 0.5 Stout has your back. Maximum flavor, minimal alcohol, engineered for any time of day.

This past weekend, Moersleutel Craft Brewery returned to the V and B Festival in Château-Gontier, France — and it was unforgettable.
We didn’t just bring our beers; we brought an entire custom-built beer tower, created just for this event. At its base sat our bar, where we proudly poured our craft beer lineup for hundreds of festivalgoers.

From behind the taps, we had a perfect view of the two main stages. Between serving beers, we danced, sang, and celebrated with the crowd. Because at Moersleutel, we believe craft beer is about more than taste — it’s about sharing moments.

Craft Beer Line-Up We Poured at V and B Festival

Our festival taps featured four of our freshest and boldest creations:

• Crank the Juice IPA – Juicy, hazy, and loaded with citrus hops. See on Untappd

• Moersleutel Blond – Smooth and refreshing, perfect for summer sips.

• Moersleutel Wit – Crisp, citrusy, and brewed for hot festival days.

• I/O Ten56 Collab: Weedy West Coast IPA – A special collab with our friends at Ten56, packed with piney hops and bold bitterness.

Craft Beer, Music, and Community

The V and B Festival wasn’t just about pouring beers — it was about connecting with craft beer lovers from across Europe. People came together to taste, dance, and celebrate creativity, surrounded by incredible music and good vibes.

What’s Inside the August Guild Box?

This month is all about discovery. We brewed a line-up of brand-new Eurekas exclusively for our craft beer membership:

• Quintuple Mash Stout – five full grain mashes, enough for five beers, combined into one insanely rich stout.

• Apple Pie Imperial Stout – a dessert-like brew that balances sweetness with depth.

• Peanut Butter Piña Colada Stout – tropical and creamy, perfect for the last sips of summer.

Our Pastry Factory Espresso Quad took us all the way to Bruges, where we roasted a custom coffee blend with our friends at Matubu Coffee. The result? Bold, roasted intensity woven into the quad’s red fruit backbone and rich malt body – a match made in brewing heaven.

Also debuting: Geitenbreier, our first autumn seasonal – dark, warming, and a little rebellious. And for pure slow-sipping luxury, we bring you Extravagant Long Boil (six hours of boiling!) and Eureka 12 Hours Boil Oatwine (twelve hours – madness in the best possible way).

Indulgence 26 – Barrel-Aged Brilliance

Brewer and barrel master Michiel presents Indulgence 26, an unapologetically decadent blend of four different base beers aged in two types of deluxe barrels.

On Sazerac Rye barrels, two beers rested for 20 months, drawing out bold rye spice, soft floral tones, candied red fruit, boozy raisin, and a firm oak backbone.
On Heaven Hill bourbon barrels, a triple-mashed stout matured for 20 months alongside something truly unique in our Indulgence legacy: our collaboration with KRAK Chocolate. Over 18 months, the cacao mellowed into pure velvet, seamlessly woven into the bourbon’s depth. We never use adjuncts in the Indulgence series – but this was simply too perfect to pass up.

Now picture this: a small, warm cabin with a gentle fire crackling in the hearth. The air is rich with charred oak, molten chocolate, and ripe berries. You take a sip – deep, layered, with earthy notes, soft sweetness, and a touch of warm spice. Time slows, the world softens, and every flavour lingers like a shared memory with friends.
