About
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.

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.

Brittle wax that falls into the beer, big gusher. Amateuristic crap. Smell is very herbal. Body is very thin, high on the carbonation but not disturbing. Flavour is more herbal, nothing stout remains, still quite unbalanced. Alcoholic, drinkable, OK.
Bottled 01-2017, and I bought it in march that year. So how could it have been cellar aged for a year after bottling but before release? Downrating for being a scam, I do not like being lied to.

Strong stout from Friesland infused with Beerenburg, a Jägermeister-like liqueur made by Boomsma in Friesland, Netherlands; thanks Craftmember for sharing. Mousy, pale yellowish beige, slowly opening, medium thick head over a very dark bronze beer, close to black but translucent under bright light. Aroma of fig compote, camphor, liquorish, walnut oil, stewed plum, caramel, hazelnut liqueur, freshly baked bread, cookies, cloves. Sweet onset with light sourish edge, candied cherry and dried plum, some fig, medium carbonation, slick oily body; hazelnutty, peanutty and caramelly maltiness with bitterish toasty edge enhanced by strong 'jenever'-like alcohol as well as ethereal, clove- and cinnamon-like spiciness, spice liqueur obvious enough yet not as wry and perfumey as I was fearing, with something camphor-like to it; warm, spicy and sweet finish. A bit too heavy on the Beerenburger for me, as I was expecting, but still maintaining high drinkability and clearly constructed on a very decent, technically well-made basis.

Bottle @ Nuchtere Noorden Tasting shared by ShivanDragon. Red brown color, small beige head. Smell and taste malts, some roast, I guess there's beerenburg in there as there is something herbal / spices in there and some bitterness. Average body and carbonation. Hmm not too bad tbh. 7-4-7-4-14. --- Beer aliased from original tick of Kracht in de Nacht met Boomsma Beerenburger on 24 Jul 2018 at 20:12 - Score: Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 8 | Flavor - 8 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 8. Original review text: Bottle @ tasting shared by TomHendriksen. Dark brown color, average sized off-white to beige head. Smell and taste malts, liquorice, anise, dark malts a bit, decently bitter. Quite nice. The beerenburg actually adds a nice touch.
