The image shows a glass of beer featuring the branding 'De Klok', a historic beer label deeply rooted in Dutch brewing history. De Klok was the original name of the brewery founded in 1615 in Grollo, which later became the world-renowned Grolsch Brewery. The brand serves as a tribute to the legacy of the brewery's founders and is often positioned as a traditional, high-quality pilsner within the Dutch market.

Today, the brand is part of the Grolsch portfolio. While Grolsch was a family-owned Dutch icon for centuries, it underwent significant corporate transitions. In 2016, as part of the regulatory requirements for the AB InBev and SABMiller merger, Grolsch was sold to the Japanese conglomerate Asahi Group Holdings. Consequently, while the beer is brewed with Dutch heritage and local water in Enschede, its ultimate ownership resides in Japan.
