Description :  The Jopenkerk is officially called Jacobskerk (St. James Church). The church was inaugurated on 16 July 1911. To not let the 100thanniversary of the church go unnoticed, we have brewed a beer called Jopen Jacobus RPA. Jacobus (James) is the patron saint of pilgrims, recognizable by the scallop shell – also known as St.James’s Shell. In the past, these pilgrims spent the night in guest houses along the route of theirjourney. Because of these visitors, these guest houses had a special arrangement with the tax authorities: they were exempt from excise duty as long as they brewed with rye. Hence we have chosen to make Jacobus beer a rye beer: a Rye Pale Ale.5.3% alcohol and a generous handful of hops ensure a spicy, dry and full-flavoured hopped quafferwith an amber colour. Imagine a light version of an IPA.- Silver medal at World Beer Awards 2014- World’s Best Gold, World Beer Awards 2013- Bronze Award, World Beer Cup 2013- Winner Bronze Medal World Beer Cup 2012- Best new beer of 2011
