The Dutch Beer Brewing Industry of the Golden Age

5 min•12 juni 2026

While the Dutch East India Company and tulip mania often steal the spotlight, the Golden Age was also fuelled by a more humble commodity: beer. In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore how Dutch brewers turned a staple drink into an industrial powerhouse, exporting millions of barrels across Europe and beyond. From the invention of the 'kuiper' barrel to the role of water management in creating consistent brews, we uncover the technical innovations, economic strategies, and cultural shifts that made the Dutch beer industry a global leader. We also discuss the surprising link between beer and the Dutch Revolt, and how brewing shaped the urban landscape of cities like Delft and Haarlem. Join us for a frothy dive into one of history's most overlooked industries.
