A local microbrewery, located in the village of Smakt with only 200 inhabitants.
The brewery has a production capacity of only 100 liters per batch and an annual production of around 35 hL.
The name of the brewery is twofold, on the one hand the brewery is located in the village of Smakt, but "'t Smakt" also means "it tastes".
Brewery 't Smakt plays on the village where it is located. For example, the map of the village of Smakt is depicted on the background of the labels. On these labels the brewery is indicated with a hexagon.
The brewery also tries to connect with the village by naming the beers. For example, one beer is called "Kwistutwel" (I-knew-it), the name of a quiz that takes place every other year.
On the labels, Brewery 't Smakt is as transparent as possible, with a clear list of ingredients, taste indication, by means of the bitterness (IBU) and color (EBC), but also a mention of the hops used and with an extensive taste rose.
With only natural products and by letting the natural process take its course, the brewery produces beautiful clean beers.
