Description
Eggens Craft Beer is een aantal jaren terug kleinschalig thuis begonnen. We zijn begonnen met het brouwen van bier op een Braumeister 50 liter, waar we veel geëxperimenteerd hebben met verschillende stijlen. Nadat we hier de smaak goed te pakken hadden, hebben we gekozen om onze bieren grootschalig te brouwen.

Dit zijn we gaan doen als zogeheten huurbrouwer. Op loopafstand van de start, is sinds 2016 Baxbier gevestigd. Na een goed gesprek met Bax hebben we besloten om hier te gaan huurbrouwen. We maken gebruik van hun overcapaciteit, en brouwen ons eigen bier daar in volumes van 2000 – 4000 liter. Dit zijn ten alle tijden eigen recepten, door ons zelf ontwikkeld op kleine schaal.

Bottle from Mitra Ballast, Coevorden. Peat and iodine upfront with dark malt, whiskey barrel, roast, ash. Almost a bit sourish flavour. Body is medium. Heavy peat, ash, iodine. Not the best Eggens BA, thinnish and lacks balance.
