History
Bisschop refers to the medieval Bishop of Utrecht, the dominant political and ecclesiastical power in the city from the 10th to 16th century. Monastery brewing traditions in Utrecht produced amber ales from the medieval period. Stadsbrouwerij Utrechts Bier reconstructed the Bisschop amber ale recipe from archival sources and began brewing at the Paardenveld in the 2010s. It is now the de facto civic beer of Utrecht.
