Cafe De Beyerd

Cute little place with nice outside patio. Several house beers on tap, but impressive bottle/can list especially with big Dutch barley wines and stouts.

Mooie bruine kroeg, leuk terras. Grote en gevarieerde bierkaart. De eigen bieren en de Bredase bieren zijn een meerwaarde. Er komt indien gewenst iemand uitleg geven bij de eigen bieren. De bediening is vriendelijk maar onderbemand bij drukte, dus is het logisch dat geduldig zijn hier de boodschap is.

From the looks and feel, I was a little afraid I would wind up in a bar offering nothing but the Belgian macro and family breweries and some boring mediocre Dutch impressions of the above. While part of that was definitely true, and most of the offerings on the menu are very common Belgian beers, they offered quite some new Dutch craft breweries as well. The house beers weren't half as bad as I had feared, much more bitter and hoppier than the Belgian offerings. As I had already sampled the 4 house beers in a sample flight, drinking full glasses of the other draft beers would have been unwise, so I politely asked if I could get a sampling tray with the 3 other beers on draft I hadn't had before, which was no problem. Very kind staff, the food looked decent though we only had a plate of mixed hot and cold snacks, which was also good. Having had a huge breakfast at the hotel late in the morning, and a lot of beers the day before, this was all my stomach could handle. ;-) Definitely worth the visit, decent prices, and they are, maybe a bit late compared to some other, catching up with the Dutch craft beer scene as well. Maybe even more so than the other bars who would more focus on international craft than the Dutch scene.

*Live rating, Just arrived in Breda walked from the central station through the park onto JF Kennedy Straat and first left the bar is ahead on the right.

As for the Café itself, there is a covered area outside, inside it has a very comfortable homely feel about it, nice touches such as little rugs on some of the small tables, soft glow lighting from grape like bunches of globe lights. A row of pastel fabric covered simple stools up to the vertical slatted wooden bar which incidentally takes up most of the right hand side invites you to sit here, however we chose one of the rug tables. Simple red tiled flooring, a beer list off to the LH side on the wall. Enamel signs, some neon beer brewery advertising signs above the bar, completed the look.

The service was top notch the joint owner spent a lot of time chatting with us explaining about this place, he was a lovely man. We arrived quite early so it was quiet. Beer choice was excellent we had their own beers, both of which were very good. If I had a bar that I wanted to be my local in Breda then this would definitely be it, it is a superb place.

I was lucky to turn up and find out a beer festival was in full swing. Many local brewers including themselves, many styles and strengths. A nice bar with lots of locals which was good to see.

Nice place in Breda. Interesting beer list with the own beers. Prices are ok. Friendly service.

It’s been a couple of years since I visited, but apparently I never reviewed the place. When I was there it was a quiet afternoon and the brewer even gave me a little tour of the brew facilities. Definitely enjoyed my afternoon there, so I’ve got to revisited this place sometime in the future.

Packed when I visited for the Beyerd beer festival (also combined with an important local football match), so hard to get a feel for what it’s like normally. Interesting local beers on tap including there own of course, and prices seemed reasonable compared to in the Randstaad. We met the brewer who was enthusiastic and friendly giving us a personal tour of the brew facilities and a Beyerd beer that I’d missed trying at the festival itself. Nice place, nice crowd, and would certainly return.

Nice place. Seemed to be full of locals. 6 of their own beers on tap plus others plus a good beer menu. Recommended
