Latest reviews from Baarle Hertog
| 84 /100 OORDEELSTRAAT 3B “Het interieur lijkt enigszins op industrial style met als wandversiering mooie foto’s van de bieren. Anderzijds zijn er grote robuuste houten tafels, die wat doen denken aan een Biergarten al weet ik niet of die permanent zijn. Het geheel schept een soort van kantine gevoel.
Het is persoonlijk, maar als men het interieur iets warmer zou kunnen aankleden/kleuren zou het de max zijn. Het zijn al aangenaam warme mensen nu nog het interieur ;-)
De inkijk naar de brouwerijzaal is een leuke surplus. De bediening is zeer vriendelijk en behulpzaam.
De muziek was leuk en nostalgisch met oude (Nederlandse) muziek hits.
De brouwerij kan onder deskundige uitleg bezocht worden + zelfs de vaten kelder!
Ongeveer alle bieren van de brouwerij kunnen geproefd worden. Proefplankjes kunnen ook besteld worden. In het winkeltje vooraan kan men bieren kopen om mee te nemen.
Bij mooi weer is er een ruim terras.
Het allerbelangrijkste voor mij is dat men er een praatje kan doen met de brouwer.
Spijtig dat het zo ver is.

| 94 /100 OORDEELSTRAAT 3B “Wat een verbetering tov vroeger. EInd januari was ik hier op de nieuwe locatie. We komen snel terug.“ |
| 84 /100 OORDEELSTRAAT 3B “Really Nice people! Thank you doen having me in the brewery!“ |
| 72 /100 OORDEELSTRAAT 3B “Passing by with the car and turn back and stopped over. The brewpub looks nostalgic and the prices are very reasonable here and you can take bottles home. Excellent location in the enclave/exclave village of Baarle. Obvious only their own beers are for sell, but they are good.“ |
| 90 /100 OORDEELSTRAAT 3B “What can I say. This is one of my favorite breweries ever. I liked coming here before they moved (such friendly people), and when they opened the new place it was sheer heaven, with all of their important beers on tap. Haven't been there since but wouldn't hesitate when in the neighbourhood. Top prices in their shop.“ |
| 90 /100 OORDEELSTRAAT 3B “One of the better smaller brewery taprooms: still equipped with just a few taps (3-4) but with friendly staff and a shop where they sell all the current beers including the one-offs and barrel-aged ones. Every time we pass nearby we stop here for a beer and a box of bottles.

| 68 /100 OORDEELSTRAAT 3B “Tasting room at the brewery. Visited with Caesar during a cycling trip. Cheap bottles for take away, couple of beers on tap. Worth a visit.“ |
| 70 /100 De Biergrens (Beer Store) MOLENSTRAAT 98 “Decent store, nothing special but worth a visit. Good prices.“ |
| 62 /100 De Biergrens (Beer Store) MOLENSTRAAT 98 “Nice store in a nice town with a strong focus on Belgian beers. Found some nice ones from Boulevard, Rodenbach en Tilquin. But not much real rare stuff overhere. Good prices though.“ |
| 88 /100 OORDEELSTRAAT 3B “Very beautiful tasting room in the new brewery, good selection both for tasting and for take away. Always nice having a chat with Ronald or other guys from the crew.“ |
| 74 /100 OORDEELSTRAAT 3B “Eenvoudig en kleine lokatie, enigszins afgelegen van de drukte in Baarle-Nassau/Hertog. Alles ziet er nostalgisch uit maar is al met al enigszins beperkt. Keuze is beperkt maar in elk geval voldoende. Volgens de eigenaar wordt er binnenkort verhuisd naar een grotere lokatie waar tevens een terras bij komt.“ |
| 90 /100 OORDEELSTRAAT 3B “Small brewery, one you almost homestay hosts ... Brewer’s super cool and a tour of the brewery on request ... nice selection of beer ... to make absolutely“ |
| 68 /100 De Biergrens (Beer Store) MOLENSTRAAT 98 “Nice place to find good Belgian beers at affordable prices. The selection is big but I am not sure if they renew it since I only went there once. But definitely a place to return.“ |
| 14 /100 OORDEELSTRAAT 3B “I arrived at the location before the closing time and while I was looking if the place was a private house or the brewery/shop a lady came out closing the door before her and went away. She even didn’t look at us. I tried to call her but she got in the brewery van and avoiding us she drove away. Unpleasant, unfriendly and rude I must say.“ |
| 100 /100 OORDEELSTRAAT 3B “We visited the shop (the brewery moved earlier this year) in October 2014. Ronald (the owner) was very friendly and helpful. All their beers were in stock except for La Renaissance but there was more stock at the location of the brewery and I could come over on the day after (Sunday morning, store is closed then) to get some. Thumbs up for making that possible and keeping that personal touch. This is why I love Baarle.“ |
| 76 /100 De Biergrens (Beer Store) MOLENSTRAAT 98 “Very good selection with some rel surprises . No whales, but just cool stuff .
Prices are very nice . Service is OK .
selection contains mostly ( only ? ) Belgian stuff .
Signs are confusing, stating 300 , 700 , and 800 bottles . Its probably somewhere in between .“ |
| 66 /100 De Biergrens (Beer Store) MOLENSTRAAT 98 “Stockpile supermarket style of mostly Belgian beers at very decent prices. Nice place to stock up on favorites, if in the area. Some new ticks as well.“ |
| 68 /100 De Biergrens (Beer Store) MOLENSTRAAT 98 “a liquor store on the border with Netherlands a good selection of beers, but not really special but ok an ok price and friendly staff so I definitely stop there again if I come along“ |
| 74 /100 De Biergrens (Beer Store) MOLENSTRAAT 98 “Visited 12/2013. A great, never-to-be underestimated cross-section of Belgian classics, especially well-equipped when we were there on lambics from Hanssens, De Troch to the whole Bacchus range, including some Boelens novelty creations and seasonals, but no real niche specialties like Fantôme, De Ranke or Jandrain. Oddly did not stock the local Dochter vdK Extase, while its more expensive NL/B/NL competitor 300m down the other side of de Biergrens did. Value on par with Geers for most staples. Semi-warehouse style with ditto service, wholesale indifference, quick to tell you to make way. Would recommend the detour when the NL-B border needs to be crossed anyway in either direction: why not pass it 4 times within one mindfuck of a lilliput enclave and have liquid souvenirs to last you a few weeks?“ |
| 66 /100 De Biergrens (Beer Store) MOLENSTRAAT 98 “Deze drankenhandel biedt een redelijke keuze in Belgisch bier, internationaal is de keuze echter zeer beperkt. Ook vindt je hier geen echt speciale bieren. Als je er in de buurt bent zeker de moeite waard om binnen te kijken, al biedt de iets verder op gelegen bierschuur toch een wat breder assortiment. Prijzen zijn in vergelijking met Nederland erg schappelijk.“ |
| 78 /100 OORDEELSTRAAT 3B “In februari 2014 bezocht met die vrienden. De brouwer was zelf op het bierfestival in Brugge, zijn vrouw heeft ons echter zeer gastvrij ontvangen. Paar lekkere bieren geproefd, vooral de finesse kwam erg tot haar recht omdat deze zeer vers was. De hopsmaak was daardoor overweldigend. In de brouwerij worden tevens een aantal bieren verkocht aan particulieren, voorraden zijn vanwege de populariteit van de bieren echter zeer beperkt. Leuk om de oude brouwerij nog een keer gezien te hebben aangezien ze binnenkort zullen gaan verhuizen.“ |
| 72 /100 OORDEELSTRAAT 3B “Tasting room attached to the house of the brewer (looked like the restroom was just the family’s one). The room looks like a former garage in which some old furniture in there. But that is exactly the charm of the place. We just went there for a couple of drinks and didn’t have anything to eat. The beers were great and the owner very friendly. What did surprise me is that he didn’t have all of his beers refridgerated, which really limited the selection of what we could taste.“ |
| 88 /100 OORDEELSTRAAT 3B “This small brewery is attached to a house with a tiled tap room in what was probably once the garage. Our visit rounded off the day of the RBESG “Crossing Borders” tour wonderfully. The brewer was exceptionally welcoming and generously laid on what was perhaps the best barbeque food I’ve ever had, accompanied by some really excellent beers from De Dochter van de Korenaar and Oersoep. You can also buy bottles here at bargain prices. (Visited 28 June 2013). As an aside, I find the village of Baarle-Hertog fascinating. It’s part Belgian and part Dutch, with the little piece of Belgium surrounded entirely by the Netherlands. The location of the front door determines which country a house is in and therefore where the occupants pay their taxes and go to school. The house numbers all have either a Belgian flag or a red blue and white design to indicate their nationality. Apparently there are two police forces, two ambulance services, two fire departments and so on. Sensibly, the roads are maintained by the Dutch authorities but the costs are shared. As an indication of this friendly integration, the brewer at De Dochter van de Korenaar is Dutch although the brewery is officially in Belgium. “ |
| 90 /100 OORDEELSTRAAT 3B “Located in like a shed or garage attached to the house of the brewer. Old wooden furniture inside with bathroom tiles to the walls. Was here for RBESG 13 and had a wonderful BBQ together with lovely people and stunning beers. Absolute must visit when within a 100 km range. And the pricing of the bottles is just outrageous (cheap that is) :-)“ |
| 80 /100 OORDEELSTRAAT 3B “Visited during RBESG 2013. Great place kind of in the middle of nowhere. Looks like an old garage that has changed into a brewery. We had a few beers and a great BBQ. Ten of their own beers were for sale, and the prices were incredibly low for beer with this quality.“ |
| 74 /100 De Biergrens (Beer Store) MOLENSTRAAT 98 “Nice beer shop in a village plagued by Belgian Dutch enclaves. Nice selection of mostly Belgian and lesser Dutch beers. Funny village runs by two nations, fortunate to fill your car in the Belgian part is cheaper.“ |
| 78 /100 De Biergrens (Beer Store) MOLENSTRAAT 98 “De biergrens heeft een prima selectie, met voornamelijk ook hele goede prijzen. Leuk om een keer een dagje de grens over te gaan, vergeet ook niet te tanken in België.“ |
| 84 /100 OORDEELSTRAAT 3B “Ronald and Martinus generously hosted me for a visit, showed me around the small and characterful brewery, and shared a few very tasty beers - thank you gentlemen! It’s definitely worth a visit. Oh, and happy 14th birthday to Bram!“ |
| 82 /100 De Biergrens (Beer Store) MOLENSTRAAT 98 “Limited range, but very good value. Service excellent.“ |
| 48 /100 De Biergrens (Beer Store) MOLENSTRAAT 98 “Prima aanbod en een goede prijs / kwaliteit verhouding! Ik ga hier regelmatig shoppen :)“ |
| 78 /100 OORDEELSTRAAT 3B “was there with girlfriend a very nice place with a few tables and chairs all over vatjes where l’efant terrible at lying to ripen the brewer was there and was very kind I have tasted a few and all over I got some explanation I will definitely return
langs gegaan samen met yves en bart op hun nieuwe locatie waar ik nog niet was geweest een tof gezellig om gebouwde schuur met denk 4 bieren van tap en een goede lijst van hun eigen bieren ik heb een paar nieuwe bieren geproefd en gewoon hun goede bieren gedronken de bediening was goed zeker een plaats om langs te gaan om rustig een biertje van de dochter van de korenaar te drinken“ |
| 74 /100 De Biergrens (Beer Store) MOLENSTRAAT 98 “Great selection of beers. Many seasonal offerings. Always some special offers available. Very good value, you can still pick up a Trappist beer for less than €1.00 per bottle. Be sure to double check your receipt though. You may be (accidentally) overcharged for example for a case instead of a single bottle.“ |
| 74 /100 OORDEELSTRAAT 3B “Another friendly place to visit.
Came here while the brewer was fully busy with brewing a new beer and all the used malts where in some kind of open container in the middle of the entrance.
Had a chat with the brewer about his beers and even got to taste the new Vanilla Stout he is brewing, of course it’s rough and needs more time, but it was already surprisingly tasty.
Bought some bottles, again guess they are pretty normal to cheap priced and only beers from this brewery.
Got some of the stuff that is difficult to get elsewhere. Interior is small and cosy, the brew installation looks very nice and clean. Service is very good and friendly!
Again, when in the neighborhood, make sure to visit. Left with a big smile!“ |
| 78 /100 De Biergrens (Beer Store) MOLENSTRAAT 98 “Good selection of Belgian beers. Very reasonably priced.. worth a visit“ |
| 90 /100 OORDEELSTRAAT 3B “Visit the brewery and their shop. The place comes recommended. Some experimental beers are magnificent and Mr. Ronald Mengerink is very nice guy.“ |
| 70 /100 De Biergrens (Beer Store) MOLENSTRAAT 98 “Located on one of the bigger streets, easy to find. A big board outside says this store has 300 beers.
I guess this store has a little bit more than 300 beers.
Anyways, a nice selection of (I guess) only Belgian beers. Got some Cantillons here as well as some from Oud Beersel, De Troch, Hanssens, Dochter van de Korenaar, etc. Prices are pretty cheap and there’s some stuff from microbreweries that I’ve seldom heard of. Service is ok and all by all a store I think of to go back once in the neighboorhood. When close to this place make sure to plan a visit!“ |
| 78 /100 De Biergrens (Beer Store) MOLENSTRAAT 98 “Nice selection, well-chosen. Occasional unusual stuff, decent prices on most everything. A few old dusty bottles, which is not necessarily a bad thing.“ |
| 66 /100 OORDEELSTRAAT 3B “Very quick visit to buy some beers. The brewery wasn’t open yet but the brewer was there and didn’t mind selling me some bottles at quite reasonable prices.“ |
| 70 /100 De Biergrens (Beer Store) MOLENSTRAAT 98 “One of the biggest beer stores in the Netherlands. 350 kind of beers!“ |
| 72 /100 De Biergrens (Beer Store) MOLENSTRAAT 98 “Good selection of Belgian beer, of course also the expected staples, but a decent list of specials and often some little gems, specially (vintage) oude geuze and oude kriek. Also some international beers.“ |
| 86 /100 OORDEELSTRAAT 3B “Update: Over time this developed into my go-to place for the Saturdays. I really like the atmosphere and the owner/brewer is a great guy who makes brilliant beers. He makes a more than decent selection of beers and the Belle-Fleur IPA is a beer I could drink every day.
The tasting room isn’t too big, quite cosy, and never really busy unless there is a group. Ronald, the brewer, can talk very passionate about beer and share some special brews from his own cellar. His price setting is more than reasonable for the quality of the beers he makes. Open only on Friday and Saturday afternoon. I’d recommend this to everyone!“ |
| 56 /100 De Biergrens (Beer Store) MOLENSTRAAT 98 “Just on the Dutch-Belgian border, Nice selection of belgian beers, belgian specialties and some gueuze, old Kriek.“ |
| 62 /100 OORDEELSTRAAT 3B “Should we rate this here? It’s a brewery where you can buy their beers in a little shop. You cannot sit en drink and they only sell their own (few) beers. But those are certainly worth while. And the guy was absolutely friendly. Gave me and my friends a tour of his brewery with lots of stories accomponied.“ |
