De Kromme Haring is all about surprising, well-made, delicious and drinkable beers. Biologist and home brewer Stephen Grigg traveled from America via the UK to settle in the Netherlands as De Kromme Haring (home brewery). After meeting beer-lover Gijs van Wiechen, who invited him to brew the anniversary beer for infamous bar-dive Kafe Belgie, the two decided to "go pro" in 2014. After the first tentative, educational and sometimes frustrating steps in contract brewing they quickly decided that they needed their own system and place to pursue their approach to brewing. This cunning plan came to fruition when they opened their very own brewpub in September 2016, with the brewery installed in December 2016.
