A crazy host, a fat Jan and a passionate candidate brewer. There was nothing else needed to make a concept with these mix of friends in 2015 that eventually resulted in the creation of a first beer ''Dikke Jan Tripel".

After having followed a ''Artisanal Brewing'' course, we experimented with the 'Braümeister' for a year, a small-scale, handy brewing kettle, to develop a own beer. It became the dark-blond tripel with quirky features.

The many currently offered beers, brewed artisanally or not, often have a monotonous taste and are very similar. The brewer of Dikke Jan wanted to distinguish himself and give his own accent to his beverages. The hoppy touch in beer is becoming more and more popular, and this trend does ''Dikke Jan'' than also follow perfectly. A delicious nose before tasting sharpens the senses and prepares them to taste the strong taste and to apprciate the eventual slightly bitter aftertaste.

A second beer was launched during 2016. ''Dikke Jan Blond'' is a light blond beer of 5,5 alc vol%. It is of course also a beer of high fermentation. The blond Dikke Jan is clearly family of the Tripel. One finds the fine notes of the Tripel in the aroma. Yet, it is a beer of its own; fresh, hoppy and with a nice aftertaste. For those who shun the high alcohol percentage and still aspire to a full taste.

Finally, the ''Dikke Jan Bruin'' was launched on the marked in early 2017. A dark brown, almost black beer with everything a complete brown beer should have. We can go a long way with these beers in the range.

The intention is that from 2018 every year at least one seasonal beer is brewed that, depending on the success, the range will be included.
