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.

33 cl. bottle @ home, bought @ van Rooij, Culemborg. Light hazy dark golden with a white head. Malty aroma with a very light smoky touch. Sweet taste with a dry bitter finish. Starts a bit weird and unbalanced but turns out to be quite a complex and balanced beer.

Bottle shared at home thanks Maakun. Clear brown with white head. Sweet malts, dried fruits, sweet but not very smoked. Do taste some beechwoodlike woody and resinyness. Pleasant drinking nonetheless. Quite sweet and moderate bitter. Medium body and soft carbonation. --- Beer merged from original tick of Bock on 18 Apr 2019 at 23:43 - Score: 7.

Bottle shared. Slight hazy reddish brown with small beige head. Soft smoke, caramel, apple, light earthy, toffee, aniseed, allspice, berry candy, pear drops. Over medium sweet, under medium bitter. Solid medium bodied. Some weird notes, but overall pretty decent.

I'm sorry, but I really don't like the brett strain they use for this. Reminds me of oak aged pickled onions. Fairly woody, lightly tart, some fruit.. berries of sort?

Bottle. Gusher, a lot of foam keeps coming out of the bottle. Color: Hazy golden, huge white head. Aroma: Malt, fruity and bit yeasty. Taste: Malty, smooth, herbal, yeasty and some flowery hints. Medium to under medium body. Moderate sweet and bitter. Ok, but no more than that. Lacking body and complexity.

Frisian tripel named after a local legend, thanks Craftmember for sharing. Eggshell-white, utterly thick and foamy, tightly cobweb-lacing head towering over a misty peach blonde beer with orangey tinge. Aroma of ripe mandarin, peach, soapy coriander, pineapple, bread crumbs, old ginger powder, melon, sweetbread, gin. Fruity onset, peach, ripe pineapple and ripe melon sweetness, quite expressive and pleasant, lively carbonated with a full, rounded mouthfeel; smooth-edged bready, bit biscuit and honeyish malt sweetish body, highlighted with dried orange peel ‘fraîcheur’ and spicy coriander seed soapiness, as well as light phenolic touches; mild floral hop bitter tail with ongoing melon fruitiness, warming but the alcohol otherwise remains very well hidden. Very well-made, accessible but pleasantly fruity tripel.
