The Happy Drinker , specially brewed for the Happy Golf from Deest Deest has traditionally had an industrial character and is a real dike village. The people of Deest are hard-working people who like a beer. De Vrolijke Drinker was brewed in honour of the chapel for St. Anthony Abbot that was founded in the middle of the 15th century. Until the middle of the 19th century, this stood on the Grotestraat, west of the diked wheel. The new church was built to the north of the 15th-century St. Anthony Chapel, the dilapidated remains of which were demolished. De Vrolijke Drinker is a delicious, accessible blond beer with 6% alc.

The day before Christmas 1542 he tried to separate two warring nobles. In honor of this priest, 't Vergulde Nat was brewed. 't Vergulde Nat is a blond beer of 7.5% A soft, smooth, fresh but above all a strong blond beer. In “Aoffere” they like strong beer.

The Thirsty Streuper, specially brewed for cv De Streupers from Horssen Horssen Castle was demolished in 1869. No drawings of the castle have been preserved. Its exact location was unknown until 2012. In that year, ground radar was used to show where the castle had stood. The beer d'n Dorstige Streuper was brewed in memory of this castle. There was a lot of poaching in the forests around the castle. These poachers are still very thirsty to this day. D'n Dorstige Streuper is a nice, fresh beer with 8% alcohol. It is low/mildly hopped and therefore very accessible.

“D'n Dorstige Streuper zupt en strupt”.

Uilenzeik, specially brewed for cv De Torenuilen from Puiflijk Puiflijk had a considerable tobacco industry in the 18th and 19th centuries. The processing, stripping, fermenting and removing of nerves took place in the historic building 'De Hucht' in Puiflijk. In honour of all tobacco cutters we brewed the Uilenzeik. Compared to other tripels, 't Uilenzeik is less sweet, but it is easy to drink even though it is a 9% beer. The mild hop-bitter taste in the aftertaste ensures that it comes across as powerful. Both Pööke and all tobacco cutters from the past would be at the front of the line for this yellow/golden Uilenzeik.
