Brouwerij Klinker
Brewery Klinker is the oldest active brewery in the city. The Burgundian lifestyle and Maastricht chauvinism of the brewmaster can be tasted with every sip. Full flavors and subtle notes make every sip a party. Carefully selected ingredients are added to Maastricht water, and because beer consists of 95% water, this is a very important element. Taste the enthusiasm and passion in real Maastricht beer. Visit one of the many cafes in the city and ask for a genuine Klinker or ask like a Maastrichtenaar, “maag iech e Mestreechs Bloond?”
