Description
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.

7.5/10 Appearance 10 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7
Golden colour, clean; one inch of rocky head, and a persistent flow of small bubbles raising. No classic lace: actually the foam sticks to the glass!
Deep aroma, typical for a Tripel, spicy, old hop, malt.
Not as dry as the other similar beers; pretty sweet, some malt, some alcohol, very light aniseed and even lighter liquorice.
Not enough supported by the hop.

Dark hazy amber; malty, phenolic, alcoholic, with honey-ish notes. Very sweet beer, with little if any pear character; finishes yeasty and malty. One dimensional.

Malty aroma. Strangely it has a lower alchol percentage as the Blond (6 vs 7.5). Very nice brune
