Additional Information
The Oranjeboom Brewery was founded in Rotterdam in 1671. The brewery there closed in 1990, with production shifted to Breda. That brewery was sold to Interbrew in 1995 and was closed in 2004 by InBev (Interbrew's successor.) Production of the brand Oranjeboom was then moved to the Dommelsch brewery. In October 2013 Oranjeboom was relaunched as a "quirky" new European style lager.
Oranjeboom is also brewed in Faversham Kent under license by Shepherd Neame.
In New Zealand, Oranjeboom has been brewed under license by Lion Nathan since 2005

Over the years the brand identity is updated and re-launched with subtle changes, a change of Logo or a new font.
Sometimes this brand update is done by the new owners after a brewery has been sold, other times just to give the brand a fresh new look on the ever growing market.
Below are some notes to help identify some of these changes and an aid to reference the year of the glass.
