LOC Brewery was established in 2014 by 4 young souls with the ambition to learn how to brew craft beer, have fun and promote the art of making craft beer. Our aim is not to brew mainstream beers, but to try to explore the world of special beer making. The name LOC Brewery is short for Locomotive, a direct link to the location of our Brewery. As of October 2014 LOC Brewery will start brewing in the historical โSpoorzoneโ in the centrum of Tilburg the Netherlands. The โSpoorzoneโ has been a centrum of craftsmanship since the 18th century when the Dutch Railway established one of their main workshops for train repairs, restorations and maintenance. The nature of the work carried out at the workshop required a number of ancillary businesses, such as blacksmiths, woodworkers and other craftsmanshipโs. What better way to honor the century long tradition of craftsmanship in this area then to open a craft brewery! The founding fathers of LOC Brewery are:
Paul:
Paul is our Chief Mechanical Engineer, working his magic around the Brewery keeping every piece turning. This master of crafts build our very first Brewing installation based on scrap metal. Paul is a beer lover, no matter the style or the color Paul will enjoy it. Erwin:
Erwin is our Station Master, the facilitator of our Brewery grounds and of course the ultimate judge to our brews. Erwin has a long history within the restaurant and entertainment business and will fill the role of Brewery tycoon. Erwin has a special fondness of Belgium doubles and triples, but is not shy to try new brews. Daniel:
Daniel is our Revenue Protection Inspector, educating people on the beauty of craft beer and at the same time trying to keep the expenses manageable.
