Brouwerij Eleven: craft and collaboration in one can
19 August 2026 · 3 min read
In 2017, Loes van Impelen and Kevin Hageman built an Utrecht brewery where craft and teamwork meet.
In 2017, Loes van Impelen and Kevin Hageman founded Brouwerij Eleven right in the middle of Utrecht. Not a random side step, but a deliberate choice to brew beer the way they'd want to drink it themselves.
Collaboration comes first at Eleven: recipes are born through conversation, with attention to technique and to the story behind each beer. You can taste that in the precision with which they approach a style like imperial stout.
Their 'Met Jan naar de Maan' proves it: a full, complex stout you don't just drink, but pause for. Exactly the kind of beer that makes a drinks box feel a notch more serious.
In a city full of young breweries, Eleven deliberately chooses the best glass over the biggest volume. You can taste that choice.
In our boxes, this beer brings the taste of Utrecht craftsmanship to every desk - from the Neude to the last meeting room.
