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 0,33 ltr: Opaque black coloured brew with no foamy head, mediocre almost no sweet bitter taste and to watery, forgettable hints of roasted malts and chocolate. It's there the hints but you have to work hard to taste it. Cool label for appearance points.

0,33 l bottle via Slijterij de Jong, Nes, from Torsten & Daniel. BB 21.02.2027. Thanks a lot! Cloudy pale golden in the glass, nearly two finger white foamy head. Sweet apple grainy aroma, citrus and coriander. Taste starts sweet fruity, increasing alcoholic bitterness, some yeast, sugar and malt. Nice one.

Bottle, directly from brewery. Beware! Cork came out with a loud pop, flew just past my head and hit the ceiling with brute force. A lot of foam flows slowly out of the bottle. Luckily I managed to catch all in the glass. Color: Hazy pale orange, large frothy white head. Nice lacing. Aroma: Spicy, yeasty, fruity esters (stone fruit). Taste: Yeasty, spicy, fruity esters (stone fruit, pear). Bone dry mouthfeel. Floral hop backbone. Moderate to over moderate sweet and bitter. Starting more to the sweet side, finishing more to the bitter side. Long lasting dry and spicy finish. Medium body, average carbonation. Nice one for Saison lovers. Minus one point on appearance for the dangerous shooting cork.
