Hertog Jan Proeftuin

What's in the box: Experimental small batch beers from the Hertog Jan brewery, though the site does not say how many bottles come in a box or how often they ship.

Hertog Jan is a well known Dutch brewery based in Arcen, Limburg, and is now part of Anheuser-Busch InBev. Proeftuin, which roughly translates as "test garden," is where the brand releases its experimental brews, and the site invites visitors to taste them. The site does not clearly explain how Proeftuin is sold. It shows no recurring box, delivery schedule or subscription terms, so if you want a classic monthly beer club, check the details before you commit. The site also offers several extras. You can reserve a personalised bottle of Grand Prestige, the brewery's strong signature beer, as a gift. You can also personalise a label for a future occasion and keep the bottle in a digital aging cellar. There is a yearly barrel aged release, and the 2025 edition is themed around the Rhine. Brewery tours and a brewery shop round out the offer. You must be 18 or older to enter the site. The main appeal is limited, small batch beer from a brewer with a long Dutch track record. The drawback is that every beer comes from one brand rather than from a curated mix of breweries, and without clear subscription information it is hard to judge value. Some craft purists may also be put off by the corporate ownership.
