Christmas hamper with beer: Alkmaar breweries in one box
16 July 2026 · 5 min read
Dampegheest, Egmond, Zeglis and De Die: how to put together a beer hamper that surprises without overdoing it.
Alkmaar and its surroundings have a surprisingly strong brewing scene. That makes a beer hamper here almost a no-brainer.
Our breweries
- Brouwerij Dampegheest: known for the Alkmaars Blondje and the quirky Merakels series.
- Brouwerij Egmond: a dune brewery with its Kaasdragers beer, a tribute to the cheese market.
- Brouwerij Zeglis: small-scale and experimental, including a wintry pine-needle beer.
- Brouwerij de Die: the city brewery with beers named after the city, such as '8 oktober'.
The right composition
- 01Three to four beers in different styles (fresh, full-bodied, bitter, dark).
- 02Savoury snacks: nuts, crisps or sausage.
- 03A tasting card with order and flavour notes.
- 04An alcohol-free alternative in the same box for those who want it.
Ready-made
