Oranjeboom is a 5% abv lager brand produced at Dommelsch brewery. The brand is owned by InBev.
Brief details
The name Oranjeboom literally translates as "Orange Tree" in English.
The brand was originally brewed at the Oranjeboom Brewery in Rotterdam, but that closed in 1990 and production shifted to the Breda brewery. In 1995 the Breda brewery was sold to Interbrew. In 2004 it was closed by InBev, Interbrew's successor. Production was moved to the Dommelsch brewery.
UK version
A 4.1% abv version for the UK market is brewed under licence at Shepherd Neame, in Faversham, Kent. Pubs local to this area are a good bet for finding Oranjboom on tap. Some also serve Oranjeboom Extra Cold.
The version found in UK supermarkets is 5.0% and canned.
A 4.7 version is also available, these cans have a gold top. The 5.0% abv version has a silver top.
