Jopen is the largest independent craft beer brewery in the Netherlands. Founded in 1994, it’s been an ongoing success after enthusiastic response to the two historic beers, brewed for the occasion of Haarlem’s 750th anniversary. The name Jopen comes from the large 112-litre beer barrels in which the beer used to be transported.
At Jopen, they brew under the motto BEAT BORING. Everything that comes out of their kettles is unexpected and crazy-delicious.
Behind these doors is the Jopenkerk, this church was to be demolished but has been retained for Jopen Craft Bier. Here Jopen beer is brewed and aged before being transported to the Waarderpolder where it is bottled or canned. Modern tastemakers travel all over the world from Haarlem.
Toilet present.
