Microbrewery in Midwolde, Groningen, Netherlands 🇳🇱

This creates the base for some very special beers. The brewing process is based on pure manual labor with a minimum of machines. That’s why we call our beers handcrafted. The fermentation and ripening of our beers are all natural, without any artificial cooling, just as in the old times. As a result, the seasons clearly influence the taste. We believe that high quality does not necessarily mean constant quality. Plan to be surprised. Cheers!

(Draught at Arendsnest, Amsterdam, 24 Aug 2022) Amber colour, slightly hazy, with frothy off-white head. Fruity, sourish nose with notes of citrus, barnyard, lemon and plums. Fruity, tart taste with citrus, lemon, plums, green grapes, barnyard, a touch of vinegar and a dry and tart finish. Medium body, dry. Really tasty and well made lambic, with a fresh acidity and mild plum character. Very nice.

Gekke houterige droge / naalden achtige bitterheid… ben er niet weg van
