As Leiden European City of Science aims to achieve an accessible and inclusive program, it has broadened the definition of science beyond its more traditional meaning. Obviously, the definition of science covers all fields of alpha-, beta- and gamma studies but it also has taken it a step further to include artisanal skills that are driven by knowledge.

Throughout the ages, artisanal trades and craftsmanship have been a big part of Leiden’s history and have shaped the city as it is today. To celebrate this rich history of craftmanship, Leiden based Brewery Pronck has developed a beer for Leiden European City of Science called A Sip of Science.

This beer is a smooth amber ale with grapefruit juice, ginger leafs, three different hops and will get your mind going. Brewery Pronck is very excited to be part of Leiden European City of Science and is proud to present A Sip of Science to curious minds from all across the world.

The Sip of Science is not the only thing Brewery Pronck is going to do in the coming year. To celebrate the rich history of craftmanship in Leiden, they will tell different unique and intriguing stories of Leiden’s very own artisans. Those stories can be found here in the highlight ‘Craftmanship in Leiden’.
