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 Drankenhandel Leiden. Big calvados aroma with lots of apple and oak. Boozy, warming alcohol. Medium sweet, sticky. Pleasant, total barrel takeover.

Dorada ligeramente nebulosa, escasa espuma blanca poco duradera. Aroma también escaso y poco definido. En boca es punzante de gas, ligera de cuerpo, malteada y algo dulzona. El azucar añadida (?) se hace notar. Mediocre.

Fles gedeeld door Inoven. Het is een troebel oranje bruin bier met een volle beige schuim. Het heeft een aroma van fris zure hout tonen en rum. De smaak is vol fruitig, kruidig en rum achtig met een zoete vanille achtige afdronk.
