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.

33cl Fles, dank Harmen! Iets mistig goudgele kleur, witte kraag. Bloemig, redelijk droog, Belgisch gistje met de obligate fruitige esters, medium zoet, appels, flink bitter. Lichte body. Best goed eigenlijk.

Bottle from Drinks Vanuxeem, Ploegsteert, Belgium. Label: 6.8%abv Pours a murky caramel brown colour with a medium sized creamy beige head. Aromas of red berries, jam, caramel and chocolate. Taste is very similar to the aroma with more berries, jam, caramel and chocolate. A touch of sweetness but nicely balanced out. Medium body with average carbonation. This is a very nice Brune and above average for the style. I will definitely try this again one day. I am quite surprised by some of the low ratings and bad reviews for this beer.
