The Dutch Beer Brewing Revolution: From Medieval Gruyt to Modern Heineken

5 min•9 maj 2026

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the rich history of Dutch brewing, from medieval gruyt — a herb-infused beer — to the rise of the modern lager giants Heineken, Grolsch, and Bavaria. They delve into the role of the VOC in spreading beer globally, the shift from gruyt to hops, the invention of pilsner, and the impact of Gerard Adriaan Heineken, who bought a struggling brewery in 1864 and turned it into an international icon. The conversation touches on the Amstel Brouwerij, the Oudezijds Achterburgwal, and the unique tradition of Dutch beer culture, including the famous Heineken Experience and the enduring popularity of Belgian-style abbey beers in the Netherlands. Perfect for history buffs and beer lovers alike.
