Our story · The why of our journey
It all starts with a dream. A dream of a future in which a sustainable lifestyle is the norm. We truly believe it’s possible, as long as we all keep dreaming big and dare to take a small step, again and again.
The dream
In 2023 we decided to dare to dream even bigger.
Can we contribute to a future in which a sustainable lifestyle is the norm?
Pepijn, Denise & Sakda
Every day we make thousands of choices that affect how we live, work and consume. Eco-dreamer helps make those choices more consciously: not just by talking about them, but by making them tangible.
Because only when you experience something can you understand it.
About words
You’ll often see us say ‘natural’ rather than ‘organic’. That’s a deliberate choice.
We work with organic ingredients, such as organic malts and hops grown on Dutch soil. But in the Netherlands, whether you can call something ‘organic’ depends on (expensive) certification.
On top of that, we work without E-numbers. And ‘natural’ is broader: we want to move towards regenerative farming.

Materials
We pay extra attention to the materials we choose to work with. Both the type and the impact of production and processing.

a few steps further
As a small, new sustainable business, this can be quite a challenge. It often means we have to go a few steps further: finding new certified raw materials, getting raw materials certified or making them ourselves, finding new applications and setting up new production chains.

Our aim
Within 5 years we aim to be working 100% with sustainable resources and processes.
And to take part of the raw-material production process into our own hands, wherever that’s needed to make a more positive contribution. In Spain we’ve given that dream a home: 3 hectares of land, where tomorrow’s products literally start in the soil.
Working with other eco-dreamers
We believe in the power of working with other eco-dreamers. Each driven by our own unique eco-dreams, we create new sustainable products with care, each bringing our own craftsmanship.
Hops grown in Dutch soil
Many of our beers contain organic hops grown in Dutch soil, from Brabant Hop.
Social brewery · Amsterdam
Our Tripel Orange is our own recipe. For this one-off batch we teamed up with De 7 Deugden: a social brewery, staffed by people for whom a job elsewhere isn’t a given. That’s how we sometimes work with partners who fit our dream.
