About us

While working in a gin distillery in the United Kingdom, ‘Chief Botanical Officer’ Frederik Kampman fell in love with the use of botanicals in distilling and the fascinating world of cocktails. Having basically grown up in beer in the Netherlands, it was only natural that he started wondering what would happen if you would brew rather than distil with these botanicals. He grew curious about what kind of character these herbs, spices and fruits could give to beer. To his surprise he discovered that the lowlands actually have a very intriguing history where it comes to brewing with botanicals. Since The Netherlands or ‘Low Lands’ is a land below sea level, we Dutch grow up with a healthy respect for nature. It’s a question of balance: like finding just the right combination of botanicals – or herbs, spices and fruit – to brew uniquely refreshing drinks
