I have never heard of such a place before, and I guess there might not be a lot in the world. We are lucky to have it within 30-minutes driving distance. I decided not to go there on the opening weekend, because it might be busy or they might have some start-up issues. That was a wise choice: my friend told me the place was completely overcrowded the first weekend. That made me happy because it is great that people are interested in this new concept. The next weekend we went. The place is located outside the city center, in a big industrial space. It is huge because the brewing proces and the pub are both located in the same big space, which is fun because if you come early, like we did, you can see the guys brew the beers. I loved it all. The beers were good (only had a few sips though because I needed to drive), the space was cool, the people were super friendly, the prices were decent and the food....was AWESOME! Very, very tasty and nice dishes. The burger was very good, and the potatoes that came with it were also awesome. The bite I tried from the tempeh skewers were also very good. The dessert was just okay, and a bit expensive, though this did not even matter to me so much anymore because everything else was just so nice. I will definitely be back!

Great place! We actually went grocery shopping at Sligro..

My hubby said fish. I thought chips. So fish and chips it was. But where? I looked at google maps and found a Brewery nearby. Nothing screams fish and chips like a brewery combined with a restaurant right? Wrong. But in a lovely surprising way. Because Oproer doesn't like the old adagio that "beer and meat" are basically each others twins, like salt 'n pepper, They'd like to change that into beer and vegan meals. Quite cool! Next to beers, they have a big variety in biological fruit drinks. I ordered a lemon/ginger lemonade and it was great. My love tried their beer and loved it. Many IPA's on the menu by the way. It's a cool place in an old industrial hall. Very rock'n'roll & vegan. We had a great appetizer, warm fresh bread with a beet dip. We read that the bread was actually made from the left overs from the brewing process. Neat! Our main was the Burgerine: a aduki bean burger topped with aubergine and a vegan mayonaise, with garlic broiled taters on the side and some salad. It was really good, loved the flavors! The waitress tried to interest us in their new desert: tiramisu with cashew instead of mascarpone and tofu! Unfortunately, it had just a wee bit of alcohol in it and I didn't dare to do that to our baby. So. We must be back. And we will. Because this is a great place and it reminds us of our "youth" hanging around in rock bars. Just the thing we like!

Chicken supereme and tasty beers! What more could a guy want on a Friday night? Fun and busy…read moreambiance? Check. Authentic and friendly service? Check. A tasty dessert? Check. In a world where gourmet chicken restaurants are becoming staple food and microbrewing is more popular than tennis, its getting hard to distinguish your chicken & beer place from all the others. Luckily, all hipsterism aside, there are still a few places that stick to the core and deliver tasty delicous chicken and not much more. Kloek has its own special method of preparation which guarantees a stable level of quality and a much more lean (the fat doesn't drip of your hands) piece of meat. They pre-cook the chicken ik a spiced broth. This is something that my mom (thanks mom!) has done for ages and although it delivers the good stuff, the meat always ends up dry inside. In case of Kloek, its only a bit dry, but not to a level that you'll be bothered. On the other hand, the flavour is spectacular and its not as fatty as the alternative method. What I also love about this place is that they don't serve fries as standard to your chicken (but coleslaw and salad), which is a concious way to treat your customers and keep the total calory level respectable. The dessert - also delicous, we had the milionnaire shortcake - was also modest in size. Last but not least, I've heard that they are also a microbrewery. I tried their dark blonde beer and it was very good, will definetely help you to moist up that chicken. But make sure you don't have to many as they are very strong (8,5%).
