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.

33 cL bottle. Pours cloudy golden amber to hazzlenut brown with fully diminished light tan head. Mild fruity and caramel/toffee like aroma. Light spiced. More pronounced spiced to herbal flavour with a medium dry toffee and light roasted malt base. Light tingling carbonation mouthfeel nicely breaking the somewhat dense toffee and malty flavour to a more creamy impression. Ends with a lingering mix of toffee and mild yeast presence.

Bottle @ Plan-B, Copenhagen. BB 08/06. Pours dark brown with no head or lacings. Aroma is sweet of caramel, dark fruits & sugar. Smooth mouthfeel. Low carbonation. Port/vinous notes. Reminds me of something in between fullers vintage ale & Chimay Bleu. Dusty cellar notes - but just right & pleasant!

Coca-Cola coloured beer, clear; with a short-lived off-white head, fast gone. Very honeyish nose, honingbollen , nice. True, not much else. Soft honeyish flavour, a bit bready, I’d be tempted to call this a soft German Doppelbock. Dark malts abound, and restsugars. Mineral water quality. Alcohol comes out, slick. Good one. De Bouillon is absolutely bettering its act.

Bottle, Quinns, Camden. Poured a slightly cloudy dark brown; Spicy aroma, with more spice evident in the flavour with some fruit and malt thrown in too. Dry, slightly nutty finish. Quite enjoyable. Didn’t feel a ’schteng’ in my tail, let alone 3....

Bootle: Poured a murky yellow with white head. Aroma is citrus and spice. The taste is tingly with spices, some foral bite. The finish keeps the tongue numb.

[i] [b] Bottle, many thanks to Glen ’Imdownthepub’ for this beer [/i] [/b] Hazy golden in colour with nice bubbly head. Yeast, spice and some bitterness on the nose. Tasted much bitterer than I anticipated but in a good way as it didn’t suffer from being to sweet, yes there was spice and yeast in the mouth but quite simple and quite decent, I liked it cheers Glen.

Bottled. Deep rubyish brown colour with mediumsized brown head. Aroma is some yeast, fruits, caramel with an underlying tone of cowpoop... Flavour is a lot of malts and some mild fruits & caramel. Also some freshly cut wet wood and nuts. Very dry palate. Aftertaste is quite wooden and mildly herbal.

Bottled. Hazy yellowish golden colour, with mediumsized white head. Aroma is lots of spices, herbs and fruits in a quite nice mix. Flavour is quite fruity and flowery hops along with some really bready hints. The breadiness vanishes towards the finish and leaves just fruityness and sweet nectaryness for the finish. Some mild yeastyness is lurking in the background. No real aftertaste in this one.
