Butcher’s Tears is a small brewery located on a canal side in Amsterdam-Zuid, set up by pilgrims from the north lands as a base port for voyages on the seven foaming seas of gold. Visit our proeflokaal, a haven to clear your senses from the blur (http://butchers-tears.com/).

Amsterdam has a long tradition of immigrants infusing the local scene with exciting new stuff. The Scandinavian “pilgrims” of Butcher’s Tears are among the city’s most recent pioneering arrivals. After contract brewing for a while, they recently settled down on the outskirts of the lush Southern neighbourhoods. There is a marginal feel to the spot of their brewery and tasting room, located at the end of an unwelcoming, somewhat industrial alleyway. The whole affair breaths that sophisticated brand of counter-culture you associate with Berlin and New York crowds but is almost non-existent in Amsterdam. The arty approach isn’t limited to the interior. The crew behind Butcher’s Tears aims to create “a place where art, science and magic can work together upon the four elements to create the liquid in which joy and madness dwells”. Nonetheless, this isn’t all about experiment. In fact, tradition and experiment merge here like in none of Amsterdam’s other breweries. Or, as they state themselves: “We take a lot of inspiration from historical brewing documents and half-forgotten traditions but we also like to make way forward by forging together elements from different beer cultures as well as through pure experimentation”.
It’s an approach that pays off. Most of their beers have an outspoken yet surprisingly accessible taste. Their slightly bittery yet smooth Green Cap has the potential of a hit and hence retains its place on the menu which otherwise changes constantly. The exclusiveness of the limited editions they pour out, matches perfectly with the idiosyncratic style of the place. Style-wise every aspect of Butcher’s Tears – from its white, clinical tasting room to their eye-catching labels – is subjected to the highly original vision of art school graduate Felicia. Hanging out at Butcher’s Tears could, therefore, be described with the dubious phrase “conceptual experience”. Quality is, however, in the least compromised. Same holds for the prices. Unique Amsterdam asset (http://amsterdambreweries.com/featured/featured-brewery-butchers-tears/).

Brouwerij historie
Nieuwe brouwerij, waarvan nog weinig bekend is, behalve dat ze op 19 mei 2012 openen en een aantal bieren gaan voeren.
Onze hoofdstad krijgt er een zesde brouwerij bij: Butcher’s Tears met het Proeflokaal op de Karperweg in Amsterdam Zuid. De initiatiefnemers Herbert Nelissen en de Zweden Arkan en Felicia. Green Cap, hun eerste bier, is gebrouwen met behulp van de brouw faciliteiten van Brouwerij Gulden Spoor uit het Belgische Gullegem. Er wordt hard gewerkt om dit najaar het bier in de eigen ketels te gaan brouwen.
Het initiatief van de brouwerij dateert al uit 2012. In dat jaar werd al gestart door de twee zweden met het brouwen van de eigen bieren omdat ze ontevreden waren over de kwaliteit van de Zweedse bieren. Arkan volgde vervolgens in Zweden een opleiding tot bierbrouwer en deed ervaring op bij diverse bierbrouwers in Engeland. Aangezien ze in Amsterdam wonen was het toch een logische stap om hier het bierimperium op te gaan bouwen (www.biernet.nl/bier/brouwerijen/nederland/noord-holland/amsterdam/butchers-tears).
after thirty years of beer drinking practice,i was finally asked to design a bar… or to be more precise a proeflokaal, the tasting room of butcher’s tears, a new brewery in amsterdam.
a simple division of the space, large bar at the back, white tiled walls.
the table/bench, made of rejected steel pipes and bamboo, is the Lego block that enables flexible settings; from one long table to a maximum seated capacity of 50 thirsty on the 50 square meters, thru numerous options in between.
arm lamps that can swivel and follow the different configurations, custom beer bridge, six beers on tap (www.straschnow.com/butchers-tears-proeflokaal/).
Breweries are popping up like the hollyhocks that sprout from the cracks in the pavement in my neighbourhood (Hoofddorpplein buurt, if you're wondering). Two have addresses no more than a ten-minute walk away from my flat. One of those being Butcher's Tears... Amsterdam has lots of odd little corners. Bits of countryside, light industry and housing that have been engulfed by the city's sprawl. Karperweg is one of them. On its northern side crouches a row of single-storey garages; while a hotchpotch of an electricity substation, ambulance station, houses and scraps of industry stretches along its southern flank. It's on this side, just before it hits a dead end, that Butcher's Tears is located.
We get there just after kickoff and it's pretty quiet. Just a dozen or so people hanging around outside sipping beer.... It reminds me, in a way, of somewhere like Kernel in London. A very simple, almost impromptu venue, with plain whitewashed walls, simple table and benches. There's a light industrial chic thing going on. The brewery itself is next door to the tap room (http://barclayperkins.blogspot.nl/2013/08/butchers-tears.html).
This microbrewery located in Amsterdam Zuid has a reputation for brewing great beers. If you venture this far out of the centre to drink a beer, you must truely appreciate the beauty of a craft beer and they certainly don’t disappoint (www.gintonicgirl.com/butchers-tears/).

“Brouwerij op een niet voor de hand liggende plaats”
4 van 5 sterren Beoordeeld op 24 september 2015
Achter het Haarlemmermeerstation, nu in gebruik als trammuseum, ligt brouwerij Butchers Tears. Je moet wel even door een straat lopen die doet denken aan een industrieterrein. Aan het einde van deze weg ligt de brouwerij. De inrichting van het proeflokaal is minimalistisch. Eenvoudige proeftafels met banken, verlichting strak en industrieel. De bieren van Butchers Tears zijn echter niet zo simpel. Mooie en complexe smaken verraden dat dit wordt gebrouwen met kennis, ervaring en veel liefde. Zeker een aanrader om eens langs te gaan.

Dus ik woon in de buurt, maar om een of andere reden heb ik nooit maakte de korte reis naar slagerij tranen ondanks het feit dat a) een voormalige homebrewer dat is erg in bier en B) Iemand die houdt van klein weggestopt plekken in mijn buurt. Slagerij tranen was precies de soort vlek die ik miste uit back home... (www.tripadvisor.nl/Attraction_Review-g188590-d8662817-Reviews-Butchers_Tears-Amsterdam_North_Holland_Province.html)
The location couldn’t be more unlikely: an old garage in Oud Zuid a few doors down from an ambulance depot. Inside, the place is clinical; bare and tiled white like a butchers. A good time to introduce one of the butchers then (amongst his friends): the brewer at Butcher’s Tears.
Thanks in part to Sweden’s tough line on alcohol, Eric became master of his own home-brewed kitchen concoctions before setting up the proeflokaal in August 2013 with Felicia and Herbert. Their aim? To enrich Amsterdam’s beer culture with long used but long forgotten brewing traditions and recipes. Their plan? “I’m fermentation-oriented and have a romantic idea about working with old traditions, one of which is open barrel fermentation. Most breweries used pressured tanks but if you don’t, the yeast is left to work itself out which can lead to really interesting flavours”. To my ‘why aren’t others doing this?’: “Well, you run the risk of the beer being undrinkable and there’s also the risk of infection … but we’ll have a separate room to experiment in so we can keep our work sterile” (www.overdose.am/2014/03/14/butchers-tears-is-a-sea-of-gold/).
“Our beers are unfiltered, unpasteurized and not tampered with”.
Butcher’s Tears one of only six breweries in the Netherlands to brew on site. In the meantime, the beers we drink now have been brewed by Eric at a brewery in Belgium where they rent out space. “We try to come up with something new every month but Green Cap (our first beer) is a regular. We made it in honour of Sounds of the Underground Festival and word got around even though we had no intention of becoming a phantom brewery before we opened. Actually at the time, people thought it was too bitter, too complicated”.
So where does Amsterdam place on the map? “Things are changing here. Amsterdam is really just discovering interesting beers and I think that when Brouwerij ‘t IJ opened they found it tough because people weren’t ready”. I point out that the change in tastes has led to a handful of new beer spots popping up and ask whether he thinks of them as competition. “Everyone’s doing their own thing. My thing is looking at old dusty books on brewing history because there’s lots of things that were done in past that’s now forgotten. A huge amount of knowledge has been replaced by trends – just look at the IPA. Everyone feels like they need to make an IPA even if no one really knows what it is.” We laugh, Eric knowingly, me sheepishly, and I ask about his inspiration for new beers. “Everywhere which is why I need to get my ideas out.”
And the name? “The Butcher was the name of a celebratory batch of beer – my 50th – that I made back in my kitchen brewing days. And so when we needed a name for the brewery, we remembered it. Nowadays it’s (Rietveld Academie graduate) Felicia that comes up with the names, designs and labels as well as the aesthetics of the place. It’s all her crazy imagination”, he nods to the drawings on the walls, dentist-chair lights and beer hall cum design cum picnic table tables. All highly stylized like the website, her work as well. The place has a cohesiveness to it and its minimalist, straight-up design is respectful of the fact you’re sitting in an old garage to drink fussy beers. There’s nothing to distract or detract from the tastes. A true proeflokaal (www.overdose.am/2014/03/14/butchers-tears-is-a-sea-of-gold/).
Dus is het een Amsterdams of Zweedse brouwerij?
Butcher’s Tears, Amsterdam, Holland – The original Amsterdam pale ale, available year round. Brewed with generous amounts of the finest East European hops for an exquisite floral citrus character and full flavour (www.thegrove.pub/country/bottled-beer/butchers-tears-green-cap/).
Butcher’s Tears Green Cap IPA06mei13
Alc. 6%
Brouwerij Gulden Spoor (Gullegem)
Beschrijving: Belgische IPA, blond bier van hoge gisting, met nagisting in de fles
Ingrediënten: Gerstemout, (Belgische) hop, gist, water.
Geproefd: Hoppig en fruitig aroma. Vrij fruitig van smaak, met een licht zoete toets en een fijne bitterheid die wel wat blijft hangen in de semi-droge nasmaak (https://lambikstoemper.wordpress.com/2013/05/06/butchers-tears-green-cap-ipa/).

Fazia todo o sentido provar a La Condition Humaine depois da Green Cap, a cerveja da publicação anterior. Digo isso porque esta é na realidade uma Green Cap mas com um dryhopping de lúpulo da variedade Amarillo. O dryhopping – que pode ser interpretado literalmente como “lupular a seco” (verbo inventado por conveniência) – é uma técnica que envolve a adição de lúpulo após ou durante a fase de fermentação da cerveja. A técnica permite intensificar os aromas e sabores e extrair características mais frescas do ingrediente do que é habitual nas fases anteriores da produção da cerveja (www.cervejaetremoco.pt/butchers-tears-la-condition-humaine/).
Butcher' Tears Lipreader is een sterk bier voor de donkere seizoenen. Door het gebruik van caramel mout ontstaat een vol, complex en donker bockbier met een zoete smaak. Er is geen verdere informatie bekend over Butcher' Tears Lipreader (www.biernet.nl/bier/merken/butcher-tears-lipreader).
Butcher’s Tears Headroom
Double stout inspired by original 19th century recipes. Full-bodied with a distinct bitterness and massive mocha and chocolate flavours (www.commonground.community/product/butchers-tears-headroom/).
Butcher’s Tears Saison en Enfer
Light and dry old-school saison in which herbal hop notes are complemented by a quirky fruitiness (www.commonground.community/product/butchers-tears-saison-en-enfer/).
Butcher’s Tears The Last Possession
Quaffable yet flavourful beer brewed with three unusual old-school hop varieties for a spicy, fruity aroma of black currant and lemon balancing a malty backbone with hints of toffee and liquorice (www.commonground.community/product/butchers-tears-the-last-possession/).
