Welcome to Het Klooster Bier – the monastery brewery of North Brabant.
Our beers are crafted by monks on board the Kloosterschip Elia II, a unique floating brewery and monastery ship. We brew authentic abbey and specialty beers using traditional methods and local ingredients.

We offer more than beer. You can join us for:

  • Guided tours of our monastery ship

  • Dinner cruises and round trips through the Waterpoort area

  • Special group arrangements for clubs, companies and families
