Hooghoudt (distillery)

Hooghoudt is a Gronings producer of several alcoholic beverages. The company was founded in 1888. Hooghoudt's products include genever (a gin-like liquor), vodka and beerenburg.

History
The family company was founded in 1888 by Hero Jan Hooghoudt, who had been a baker. The distillery was based in the city centre of Groningen, but has since moved to a new complex in an office park in Euvelgunne. The distillery employs between 50–100 people and has an estimated revenue of 10 to 25 million euros. The distillery has a relationship with the Herberg Hooghoudt tasting room and café on Reguliersgracht ("regulator's canal") in Amsterdam.
