Perfect Craft Beer for Any Occasion: The Moersleutel Way

Rob at the Moersleutel Craft Brewery barrels in Alkmaar – creating craft beer for any occasion

Every occasion deserves the perfect craft beer. At Moersleutel, we don’t just brew—we build beers for moments that matter.

Whether you’re toasting a win, devouring smoked wings, or closing the laptop after a long day, the right beer changes everything.


1. After Work: The Perfect Beer to Wind Down

When the work’s done, grab a dark, intense beer that helps you shift gears. How about a rich Imperial Stout, like Motor Oil, brewed to enjoy and satisfy deep cravings?

Perfect craft beers for stout lovers and slow evenings:

  • Barrel-Aged Imperial Stouts

  • Pastry Stouts, liquid desserts with coffee, chocolate or vanilla. Or everything and more!

  • Coffee-infused collaborations

Bonus suggestions:

  • Playing boardgames
  • Watching your favorite series
  • Take a hot bath

2. For the Grill: The Perfect Craft Beer for BBQs

Hops pair wonderful with hot days or evenings behind the grill. Refreshing, hoppy and thirst quenching. Perfectly paried with grilled meats or smoky bites, a hazy NEIPA or bold DIPA is the perfect craft beer for this occasion. These beers amplify spices, tame fats, and refresh your soul.

A Moersleutel Wit or Wild Ale makes for the perfect craft beer for any festive occasion.

  • Engagements and wins

  • Special bottle shares

  • Wild dinners and birthdays
