Description
Brew Age is a young and innovative company taking old brewing traditions and developing them further. The newly created beers and beer styles are then to offer new impressions and flavours to the beer expert and the beer newbie alike.

We went through various scenarios in our heads: our own brewery vs. gypsy brewing, establishing a brand and, most importantly, developing recipes. Finally we settled on the concept of gypsy brewing. Following an intense search for a partner brewery, we finally managed to start our cooperation with Reinhold Barta at Brauhaus Gusswerk. Today, we still brew our beers at Gusswerk, and in a way you can call us sedentary gypsy brewers: in contrast to classic gypsy brewers, who produce their beer (or have it produced) at various breweries, we brew our beers almost exclusively at Gusswerk, strictly according to our own specifications. For the near future, we are planning to build our own brewery in Vienna.

Schwacher Beginn mit Noten von hellem Malz, Honig und einem Hauch von Toffee. Zum Mittelteil kaum stärker, der Alkoholgehalt überrascht und ist nicht erkennbar, die Fasslagerung ist ebenfalls nicht erkennbar. Sehr kurzer Honigabgang. Hm... 9/6/5/6/13/5
