Bier is a huge part of Lowland European culture—as integral as frites, cafés, and bicycles. And here at Café Hollander, we love bier—from sourcing the best biers to perfecting the way each is served in the proper glass. In fact, a member of our Brewminati (our team of bier experts) has even been named an Honorary Knight in the Knighthood of the Brewer’s Mashstaff, better know as the Belgian Brewer’s Guild.

Each year, our Brewminati members comb the breweries, monasteries and cobblestone streets of Europe to meet (and taste) with the monks, brew masters and families who have made bier their passion for centuries. Step into one of our Grand Cafés to experience these biers, which we pair with an ambiance and culinary approach that are inspired directly from these visits to the Lowlands of Europe.

Our passion for bier runs so deep that we’ve collaborated with some of these brewers – who have become close friends – to create our own exclusive biers brewed by friendship and available exclusively at our cafés. We call this partnership the Lowlands Brewing Collaborative.
