About
The "Grain d'orge" brewery is a family brewery that was founded in 2002 by Benoît and Viviane Johnen. It is located in the village of Hombourg, at the limit of the 3 borders. The production of the brewery has increased year by year since its creation to reach in 2016, 4000Hl of beers.
Its main beers are Brice, Joup, Canaille, Grelotte, The Pom, Triple, Double and Pure d'Aubel. To this are added others, so-called beers on contract. They are tailor-made for small debits or special events.
The combination of ingredients and natural spices makes Grain d'orge beers unique and the layout of a spacious brewing room respecting the standards imposed by the FASFC guarantees their quality. In addition, a banquet hall has been fitted upstairs. This is available for rent but also serves to welcome groups who visit the brewery in order to end pleasantly with a tasting.

Grain Dorge - Dusius
Bottle at home shared with Laura. Orange golden color, average sized white to off-white head. Aroma and flavor are malts, dusty a bit, hayish. Decently bitter, also in the finish. Okay body and carbonation. Uninteresting but drinkable. 6-6-6-6-6

Bottle. Color: Lightly hazy orange amber, huge off-white head. Aroma: Malty, yeasty notes. Taste: Following the aroma. Subtle oak notes and hints of vanilla. Herbal hints. Medium body, just above average carbonation. Moderate to over moderate sweet, light bitterness. Slightly metallic and slight sourness. Oak aged? Or oak chips infused... Drinkable.

Bottle shared with Laura while on a short holiday in Malmedy. A bit hazy amber color, average sized off-white to beige head. Aroma is horribly herbal / spicy. Typical grain d'Orge beer. Flavor is similar: somewhat dark candy sugar notes but the beer is heavily dominated by herbs and spices. Absolutely totally not my thing at all.
