Jopen
Jopen () is a beer brewery from Haarlem, Netherlands. Jopen's beer is a result of the work of Stichting Haarlems Biergenootschap, which was founded in 1992. The mission of the Biergenootschap is to re-create traditional Haarlem beers and bring them to the commercial market. Two recipes were found in the Haarlem city archives that were used as a foundation for two initial beers. The first one was a recipe from 1407; the recreation of this was named ''Koyt'', a gruit beer. In December 1996, the commercial company Jopen BV acquired the beer. The name Jopen refers to the 112 litre beer barrels that were used in early times to transport the Haarlem beer. Until the end of 1996 Jopen beer was brewed in the Halve Maan brewery in Hulst, after that it was made in the La Trappe brewery in Berkel-Enschot. Since 2001, the Jopen beer brands were brewed in Ertvelde, Belgium, in brewery Van Steenberge. The current brewer is Chris Wisse. At the end of 2005, it was announced that the old Jacobske ...

Gruit
Gruit (alternately grut or gruyt) is a herb mixture used for bittering and flavouring beer, popular before the extensive use of hops. The terms gruit and grut ale may also refer to the beverage produced using gruit. Historically, gruit is the term used in an area today covered by the Netherlands, Belgium, and westernmost Germany. Today, however, gruit is a colloquial term for any beer seasoned with gruit-like herbs. Gruit is a combination of herbs, commonly including: *Common heather (''Calluna vulgaris''). *Ground ivy (''Glechoma hederacea'') *Horehound (''Marrubium vulgare'') *Mugwort ('' Artemisia vulgaris'') *Sweet gale (''Myrica gale'') *Yarrow (''Achillea millefolium'') Gruit varied somewhat; each gruit producer included different herbs to produce unique flavors and effects. Other adjunct herbs include juniper berries, ginger, caraway seed, aniseed, nutmeg, cinnamon, mint, and occasionally hops in variable proportions (although gruit today is often sought out for lacki ...

Beer In The Netherlands
Beer in the Netherlands includes pale lagers, especially Bavaria, Heineken and Grolsch, that are consumed globally. Heineken is the world's second-largest brewer of beer, after Anheuser-Busch InBev, since the latter acquired competitor SABMiller in 2016. Bavaria is active in more than 130 countries, in particular in Asia and the Middle East. While pale lager makes up the majority of beer production and consumption in the Netherlands, most Dutch brewers also brew specials. The most common specials are ''witbier'' (wheat beer) and Bok, brewed in Autumn and Spring, a tradition closely related to German Bock.
