Description
At the beginning of 2000 we founded our own beer tasting club as a group of friends. we tasted different beers, and soon our interest in beer in general and brewing in particular grew. This interest led to a brewing course and soon our first home-brewed beer followed. A delicious tripel. From then on, beers were brewed at regular intervals with trial and error. Our interest in beer turned into a real passion. From that passion we continued to develop new beers. The quality clearly increased. The choice of playing cards for our labels is also not chosen by chance. As the international capital of the playing card, Turnhout is also our birthplace. We are therefore very proud to be able to present an extensive and varied range to you. By following the increasing demand for our beers and the growing export demand, we decided to build our own brewery. Hard work was done in the spring to have the brewery operational by the summer of 2015. At the end of July we were extremely proud to be able to brew the first beer in our own kettles. In addition to a state-of-the-art brewing installation of 30HL, yeast and bearing tanks of 60Hl and 120HL and our own bottling line, we also have a cellar for the storage of barrels for barrel-aged beers.

In May 2020 a merger of Het Nest and Pirlot took place, but both breweries keep on operating independent from each other.

33cl bottle from AbeerVinum, Rimini, Italy. Pours fairly opaque gold, with medium grained white foam. Aroma is herbal, a little spiced. Body is average, with marked carbonation. Taste is fairly bitter, with a hint of sweetness behind. Final is rather long, still bitter, and earthy.

Fles gedeeld door BartvG en HilligvG. Het is een troebel oranje bruin bier met een dun schuim. Het heeft een aroma van eikenhout en whisky. De smaak is vol fruitig, whisky en een hint gebrande eik.
