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.

0,3 l bottle. Red golden in the glass, slightly cloudy with a steady nearly two finger light beige head. Looks really good. Toasted grainy aroma, bready. Taste starts with toasted grain, also citrus fruity. Increasing pale grain in the middle section. Soft but present sugared. Dry bitterness in the aftertaste. Above average carbonated. Big thank you to Torsten & Daniel for this really nice one.
