Hoptimaal offers a wide variety of beers both in-store and online. If you can place an order, we usually have the product in stock (though mistakes can happen, unfortunately). Products that are in stock will be shipped the same day if ordered before 3:00 PM.
If we make an error with stock levels, you will be notified within 24 hours. In that email, we will offer you an alternative product, the right to a full refund, and a new delivery time. It's up to you how you'd like us to resolve the issue.
We ship all orders with DPD from the Netherlands. You can choose between:
Home delivery or delivery to your work
Delivery to a DPD pickup point near you
Shipping costs and the free-shipping threshold for your country are in the table below.
Deposit
On cans and bottles we charge the Dutch deposit (statiegeld): €0.15 per can and €0.10 per bottle (a little more for some bottles). It shows as a separate line in your cart. The deposit belongs to the Dutch deposit system: you can return the packaging in the Netherlands, not in deposit machines in other countries.

Delivery
DPD generally delivers within 2-5 business days of receiving the package. You can track your order using the tracking information we send, so you can see exactly where your package is. DPD will also give you a time window of 2 to 4 hours for delivery. Not at home? No problem! You can choose whether you want them to deliver again the next day or leave it at the nearest post office.
You have a 14-day cooling-off period after receiving your product. Within this period, you can request a return. The email you received when your order was shipped contains a link to easily download and print a return label. After registering your return, you have another 14 days to send the product back. If you've purchased multiple items at once, the return period begins after receiving your last item.
How to return or exchange a product:

Traditional Duchesse de Bourgogne, matured in oak foeders with Belgian cherries and chocolate essence. Verhaeghe gives the classic Flanders red a fruity twist with a chocolate edge.
Tasting Notes
Cherries lead the way: every 100 litres of beer is made with 20 kg of whole Belgian cherries. The chocolate essence sits on top of the tart foundation of a Flanders Red Ale. At 6.8% ABV and 20 IBU, bitterness stays modest, leaving the sourness, cherry and chocolate in the spotlight.
Brewery
Verhaeghe, from Belgium, brews the traditional Duchesse de Bourgogne that serves as the base here. The cherries and chocolate essence are added during maturation in oak foeders.
Serving
Serve well chilled in a tulip or wine glass, ideally alongside a dark chocolate dessert or fresh cherries.
