Sander & Ronald van de Streek
vandeStreek is Dutch boldness: creative beers, full of flavour, accessible to all, with and without alcohol."
History
At the origin, passion!
It all began in 2010, when brothers Sander and Ronald van de Streek started brewing every weekend in their kitchen, simply out of passion. Their curiosity drove them to experiment and venture off the beaten track. Gradually, their beers began to attract attention: festivals, local breweries, discerning audiences. In 2016–2017, they set up their own brewery in Utrecht in the Netherlands. Since then, vandeStreek has established itself as a Dutch craft reference, with national and international distribution.
Values
Creativity without compromise
vandeStreek favours boldness and sincerity: taste, innovation and transparency. The brand believes that beer should be full of character, even when it contains very little or no alcohol. It bets on respect — for the ingredients, for the environment, for the simple pleasure of sharing. It also values sustainability: recyclable cans, solar energy, heat recovery. Its ambition: that gustatory pleasure should never be constrained by sobriety, but elevated by ingenuity.
Expertise
Playing with hops & yeasts
Their method is defined by a dual ambition: aromatic richness and near-zero alcohol (≤ 0.5% for many of their alcohol-free beers). To achieve this, they use powerful American hops combined with special malts, yeasts designed to produce minimal ethanol, and techniques such as dry hopping to intensify flavour without excessive bitterness. Small batches, experimentation (notably in the "Playground" series) and the care taken with every lot produce balanced, complex and surprisingly "just as you'd want them" beers.

Ronald van de Streek
"I'm Ronald van de Streek, co-founder of vandeStreek alongside my brother Sander. What drives me is the desire to brew differently — to break the mould, explore flavours and keep on learning. Since our first home experiments, I've wanted our beers to tell a story: the joy of experimenting, respect for nature, the pleasure of coming together. My vision? That anyone can raise their glass with pride: enjoying a flavourful beer, without having to choose between indulgence and sobriety."
