[[Schrobbelèr]] is a local liqueur. It has an alcoholic percentage of 21.5%, slightly lower than most [[bitters]] and has a relatively sweet flavour. The drink is sold in a stone jar and is drunk cold from own glass, a high and tiny chalice glass, larger than a [[Jägermeister]] glass.<ref>[http://lokalespecialiteiten.nl/nl/noord-brabant/tilburg/15-schrobbeler-tilburg Schrobbelèr Tilburg] Information about Schrobbelèr</ref> The drink originated in 1973 when Tilburgian entrepreneur Jan Wassing started experimenting with a drink with lower [[alcohol (drug)|alcohol]]ic percentage that was appropriate for his stomach. The result was successful. The drink is distilled now at Loven industrial area in Tilburg by the [[Eindhoven]] company Schrobbeler Ltd, without the è on the last vowel. The drink is especially consumed at [[Carnival in the Netherlands|Carnival]]. The name is derived from the profession of 'Schrobbelaar', in the textile industry in Tilburg. The profession was unskilled and had a low wage.

Another known drink from Tilburg is Peerke's Nat, which has a higher alcoholic percentage than Schrobbelèr (25%) and was introduced at the [[beatification]] of [[Peter Donders]] (locally named Peerke). The drink is sold in bottles of 70 centiliters.

The [[De Koningshoeven Brewery|Koningshoeven Brewery]] brews [[trappist beer]]. It was founded in 1884 at [[Koningshoeven Abbey]].
