Ambrass Brouwerij Sittard is more than just a brewery; it's a vibrant hub where traditional brewing methods meet modern creativity.

Today, it has evolved into a professional brewery, celebrated for its distinctive craft beers and its role in the local community.

This reflects the brewery's ethos of shaking up the beer world, experimenting with flavors, colors, and aromas to create beers that are anything but ordinary. The double 's' in 'brass' pays homage to the copper brewing kettles used in the process. Located on Gats 13, Ambrass Brouwerij features a 'Barrelhouse' tasting room where visitors can sample the brewery's diverse range of beers. From the Ambrosius Tripel, a strong multi-grain golden blonde ale, to unique seasonal brews, there's something for every palate.
