Experience the Texelse Beer brewery
Under the Wadden sky, amid the vast green meadows on the edge of ‘De Hoge Berg’ nature reserve, stands the former Oudeschild dairy factory.
Where cheese was once made, copper brewing kettles now shine. The heart of a brewery, where the unique Texels beer originated.
On this page, you can read more about the brewery, our brewing process and our award-winning speciality beers. Want to experience it for yourself? Then book a Texels experience below.
A traditional brewery
The brewmasters of the Texelse beer brewery have been brewing their specialty beers from only natural raw materials, including Texelse barley, since 1999. This makes all the specialty beers brewed on the island a pure Texel product.

Distinctive beer, leading entrepreneurship
Where enthusiastic hobby brewers laid the foundation, a dedicated team now works under the leadership of a brewmaster. This has yielded a range of awards for Texels beer, most recently at the ‘Best Bock Beer of the Netherlands’ selection and the Dutch Beer Challenge. And also on the international stage of the World Beer Awards.
Brewery interwoven with nature
Taste the salty Wadden air in a glass of beer? Texels beer is closely interlinked with the island’s unspoiled nature, thanks to its unique climate: more hours of sunshine and less rain lets grain grow into distinctively thick kernels. While the beer matures in perfect tranquillity, the Texel sheep bring life to the brewery by being treated to bran, the residual product of the malt remaining after brewing.
