The Grottenbier was created by one of the greatest Belgian brewers, Pierre Celis. The aim of Grottenbier is to see what the influence of a constant low temperature, such as in a cave, does to the evolution of a beer taste. In 2002, Pierre sold the beer (name and recipe) to Brouwerij St. Bernardus, where it has been commercialized for the last ten years. When De Kazematten became a possibility, St. Bernardus immediately saw a new home for the Grottenbier. The dream of Pierre became reality. The cooperation with the marl caves of Valkenburg and Kanne will continue in the future as well. In these marl caves you can experience what the low temperature do with the maturisation process of the Grotten Santé. Like the Grottenbier has matured there for the past 10 years, we will do the same with the Grotten Santé.

Dobre piwo, swieta pierzynkowa pianka. Kolor brazowo czerwony, mocno metny. Pachnie drewnem i sliwkami w czekoladzie. W smaku lekko kwaskowe troche wodniste ale pewne nuty ziemiste i kwaskowe bylo. Wrazenie mialem takie jakby skrzyzowac Abbaye Double z Oud Bruin. Posmak na ustach octu balsamicznego pozostawia. Jak na Belgie lekkie piwo ale z pewnymi cechami ktore bardzo lubie. Plus takze za etykiete zblizona do St Bernardus, a nawet do tamtejszego Grottenbier jest bardzo podobne. Mam nadzieje ze to nie podrobka celowa.

Shared bottle on 9th July 2016: with the RBESG guys in Lambicus, Barcelona. Mini-haze to the amber pour, off-white head on top. The nose was malt led with some herbal and yeasty notes. The taste a little fruitier, semi-sour fruitiness, but still malt led and again with those herbal and yeasty notes from the aroma. Interesting and pleasant.
