About this bottle

Vos Blondbekker is a Dutch blond beer of 6% vol in a 33 cl bottle, which has been in the range since 2021. The name is a nod to Botbekkers, the nickname of the inhabitants of the fishing town of Elburg. They used to sail with their botters on the Zuiderzee to fish. After the land reclamation those ships largely disappeared, although the Elburgse Botterstichting still maintains a number of them.

For its heavy beers Stadsbrouwerij Vos has its own barrel-ageing series, the Houten Vos. For this the barley wine Don Aart, or occasionally a stout, goes into the cellar for well over a year, in oak casks that previously held wine, port or whisky. Only then is the beer bottled in a limited run.

De Blondbekker is een heerlijk fris blondbier. Deze naam is afgeleid van het woord ‘Botbekkers’, zoals de inwoners van het Elburgse vissersstadje genoemd worden. De Botbekkers voeren met hun botters op de Zuiderzee om vis te vangen. Toen de Zuiderzee werd ingepolderd verdwenen de botters en werd er plaatsgemaakt voor moderne visserschepen. Toch zijn er vandaag de dag nog veel botterliefhebbers die op de zonnige dagen het Veluwemeer op trekken, om de traditie in ere te houden. Zo is de Elburgse Botterstichting nog steeds dagelijks actief om de boten te onderhouden en restaureren.
