Mouten Kop is the first beer of the "Hopjutters". The Hopjutters are four young brewers: Hans, Joke, Nathalie and Olivier. That same year, 2010, Mouten Kop was voted "Best Homebrewed Beer in Flanders 2010" by a jury of professional brewers.^[1]
The name of the beer is a combination of houten kop and mout. "Houten kop" literally means "wooden head"; it's an expression referring to a hangover. "Mout" is "malt", a typical ingredient of beer.
