Description
Grutte Pier Brouwerij is opgericht door Frans Filius en Menno Feenstra (en Michelle Beerstra) die elkaar leren kennen aan de stamtafel van speciaalbier Café de Markies in Leeuwarden. De brouwerij werd officieel geopend op 15 november 2014. Tot begin 2020 was de brouwerij alleen actief als brouwerijhuurder en werd er onder andere gebrouwen bij Bax Brouwerij in Groningen en Admiraal in Aldtserk.

In Leeuwarden was aan de Slauerhoffweg de opslag en tonnenzaal, totdat er in 2020 een eigen brouwboerderij werd ingericht in Bartlehiem. De brouwerij heeft hier de beschikking over een kleine installatie. In de Brouwboerderij worden de nieuwe bieren ontwikkeld en de wilde bieren gebrouwen zoals de Bretttûne.

Bottle at Café DeRat, Utrecht Friday 9th January 2026, after a long wet walk from the hotel via Dr Kromme Harring (not open until 4pm, schoolboy error 😐) we visited Eetcafé de Poort first and as nice as it is, the beer choice is disappointing. Pours very dark brown/black with a light tan head. Liquorice and caramel dominate, doesn't taste 11%, it's a bit tangy, fruity edge. Good. Score 7.0
