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.

Bottle from Geers. Clear dark golden, small, off-white head. Aroma of ripe grape, plum, apple peel, oak, winegums, white wine, cake. Taste has sweet plum & apple clashing a bit with bitter grape skin and some phenolic notes against a (fruit) cake-like and somewhat candy-like (winegums) malt backbone. Herbal hoppy finish offering dry grape skin, oak and slightly harsh white wine alcohol. Medium body, oily texture, average carbonation. Actually less enjoyable than the straightforward sweet BAs by this brewery; the Loupiac was probably intended to execute balance but the flavours tend to clash here.

Bottle. Pours cloudy nearly black with stable beige head. Clear aroma of caramel, coffee, dried fruit, malt and yeast. Bitter, roasty and hoppy flavour with sweetish notes of fruit, chocolate and malt. Estery aftertaste with bitter notes of alcohol and touches of malt and yeast. Decent.

Bottle, 10%. Roasted aroma, bitter chocolate. Almost black colour, red shine, seems clear. Good stable creamy light brown head. The flavour is roasted and semi-sweet. There is a spicy hop note. Late liquorice and coffee notes. Alcohol bitterness. I like the spicy hop and the base beer, but the alcohol bitterness puts me off a bit.
