Both Brewery Fortuna Vlieland and Velocity Made Good draw inspiration directly from the Wadden Sea. Together, they spent a night there: composing in the lighthouse, drumming among the brewing kettles, and exchanging ideas over campfires. Velocity Made Good feeds on sensory impressions from the Wadden region, which they directly pour into their analog modular synthesizers. Vlieland’s dune water is the pure base for the annual beer brewed by Into The Great Wide Open in collaboration with Fortuna and Brand Bier. 

Vuurduin is the tasty and fiery result, full of appreciation for the influences of our natural surroundings on creative processes such as brewing and music-making. Vuurduin is a fruity pale ale infused with hibiscus and cranberry, to which Velocity Made Good adds the frequency of the island twilight, leaning towards the endless, magical festival night of Vlieland.

Documentarian Jeroen van de Bovenkamp captured the collective adventure, so you can join in the exploration of brews, lighthouse keepers, and an endless night, in search of the right recipes and unique ingredients for this special beer.

Vuurduin is available on tap at all bars during Into The Great Wide Open. The bottled version is for sale at Fortuna. Take it as a souvenir, then the island light will linger just a bit longer in your festival memories.
