"Due to the covid pandemic, demand has fallen so low that there was no money left to brew new beers in stock."
As long as the peat villages of Aalsmeer and Kudelstaart have existed, beer must have been an essential ingredient for the inhabitants who lived in a wetland area, but whose water was often filthy with a risk of contamination. At the beginning of the 14th century, hop beer is first imported from northern Germany. With success, because the addition of hops makes this beer clearer, has a better shelf life and has a better taste. In 1321, Count Willem III asks the Dutch brewers to start brewing hop beer as well. Initially brewed gruit, due to the switch to hop beer, gruit is gradually no longer grown and in the middle of the 14th century all Dutch brewers switched to hop beer. In the 15th century, the tax on gruit was even scrapped because no one grew gruit anymore. It must be a coincidence that at that time a Jacob from Cudelsteert sold his farm "Pilshoeve" in 1381.
