Brouwerij Egmond: a dune brewery honouring the cheese carriers

From the Egmond dunes to the Waagplein: Kaasdragers beer as an ode to the men in white.

Between the Egmond dunes and the sea, Brouwerij Egmond brews beers you won't find anywhere else. The brewery draws on its surroundings: the dunes, the abbey history and of course Alkmaar's cheese market, a few kilometres away.

The finest example is the Kaasdragers beer: a tribute to the men in white who carry the cheeses on the Waagplein, as they have done for centuries. Beer and cheese simply belong together in this region - this beer makes it official.

Egmond brews with attention to tradition, but without getting stuck in it. The beers are approachable, carefully made and recognisably from this coastal strip.

In an Alkmaar in a Box, Egmond is right at home: a beer that literally carries the story of the cheese market with it.
