Tasting Room

From 2017, the Diks family has been making its beers on the island. Located at Meyertebos 7 in Den Burg is their cosy brewery, characterised by the surprising tasting room overlooking the Waal and Burg nature reserve. Next to the Tasting Room is the brewhouse with its beautiful 5,000-litre copper brew kettles!

Open daily from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm.

Brewery

The Tesselaar Family Brewery is a craft beer brewery on the Wadden island of Texel that uses state-of-the-art technology in a professional environment.

The Tesselaar Family Brewery has its own brew kettles and is therefore an independent and autonomous brewery. We are a member of Craft the professional association for independent breweries in the Netherlands.

In small groups, you will get the exciting story of 25 years of brewing on Texel and an enterprising daughter and sons joining in and building one of Holland's finest brewing installations.

This huge building had become impoverished after more than seven years of vacancy; it needed new occupants who would restore it to its former glory with attention and passion.
