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 from het Biermoment, 33 cl sample. Hazy orange color, short frothy head. Aroma of lots of orange and tangerine, slight spicy yeast. Sweetness of tangerine and slight caramel, slight earthy bitterness, bit biscuity malt. Tripel based on sweet tangerine, which is my favorite flavor for a tripel. So, guilty pleasure, yes.

Just a dry blonde ale. A bit flat and watery. Could be so much more, pity.

Bottle @ Benzai’s Crazy Carnaval 2017, 5-10 cl sample, thanks all for sharing! Dark brown color, short frothy head. Aroma is of a licoricey quad, with hints of roast and spices. Feels like they used a Abt/Quad recipe and added some roasted malts to get roast and licorice. Bit sweet in taste, bit dry in the finish. Quite tasty still, but as i mentioned more of a "droppige Quad".

Bottle at home thanks to Sinterklaas ShivanDragon. Slight hazy dark golden to light amber with good sized almost white head. Apples, light honey, apricot. It’s quite fruity, but has some cardboard and sweet pils malts too. There’s some notes that remind me of malt liquor. Bitter finish with some paper and dusty herbs. Medium sweet. Quite a full body here, with soft carbonation. It’s not a bad beer but the aroma is the weak point here.

schenkt donker bruin oogt zwart met bruine kraag, iets grof en slinkt redelijk snel. aroma van mout en chocolade, maar valt verder wat tegen. Smaken zijn redelijk zoet, graan, iets aardse en noten tonen, donkere chocolade, alcoholisch, licht bitter, licht pepertje, glad/smooth, veel donker fruit vooral pruim/vijg en wat rozijn, toch wat dun van textuur voor een impy, het komt mij meer over als een donker fruitige dubbel met chocolade.
