Jonge Beer Brouwerij

Microbrewery in Hoogeveen, Drenthe, Netherlands 🇳🇱

Fabrieksweg 14, Hoogeveen, 7902 NM, Netherlands
Description
The initiators are Jan and Alie de Vries. Jan de Vries started brewing beer at home in 1981. In 2014, the step was taken to a commercial brewery

The brewing is done on a small scale and in an artisanal way, using as many organic raw materials as possible. In the beginning, around 150 litres were brewed at a time, since 2021 300 litres. The hops are also grown locally as much as possible. The recipe is as traditional as possible, often with a historical (local) link, and all recipes are in the idiosyncratic hand of the brewer. In addition to the regular range, special one-off variations are brewed regularly.

Holziger, weich säuerlicher Antrunk. Dunkle Malznoten mit steigender Intensität, wenig kräutrig, der Alkohol wird zum Ende hin erkennbar. Noten von Eiche, die Säure wird mit der Zeit schwächer. Rund würzig, langer Nachhall. Nett. 10/10/11/10/9/11

Flesje gedeeld door Benzai en Kermis. Roodbruin, iets troebel bier. Aroma van overrijpe pruimen en kersen. Smaak is minder zuur dan verwacht maar voor mij toch iets te zuur. Nasmaak is wrang.

Bottle @ home shared with kermis and Inoven. A bit hazy red-brown, more dark amber to dark red actually, medium sized fizzy off-white to beige head that lasts for a decent while. Aroma is indeed a sour red-brown, but I also get smelly feet in the aroma of this beer. Taste malts, sourish, oak, tart, sour apples, applepeel, a sweet hint of overripe dark fruit in the background. Decent body and carbonation. Well, I don’t really dislike it, so it probably means it’s quite bad style-wise as I normally very much dislike beers from the sour red-brown category. But other than the aroma this is definitely ok.

Bottle [from trade with RW80, thanks!] @ home. Clear orange golden color, huge foamy white to off-white head that lasts for a long time. Aroma is malts, some hops, a bit floral. Taste malts, hops: lightly floral and lightly herbal, herbal bitter finish. Average body, medium carbonation. More a hoppy Belgian Ale rather than a true IPA (apparently intended as one) imo, but not bad.

voortaan eerst even het etiket lezen, met name als je denkt een fris licht biertje uit de koelkast te gaan trekken. nou ja dat was de ze 10.5% dus niet. schenkt met enorme kraag en dus veel teveel aan co2 in, kleur is caramelbruin met lichte kraag. aroma van caramel, rozijn, donker fruit, gist, licht zuurtje, graan. Smaken .. zo dat is nogal alcoholisch en met name de wat mindere hogere alcoholische kenmerken zoals fenol, veel donker fruit, caramel, rozijn, graan, uiteraard teveel co2, ook wat ijzer/metaal, matige body..

Bottle at home on a sunny balcony. Thanks to ShivanDragon! Clear golden with huge white head. Sweet malt, dry malt, barley, light floral and grassy, some coriander. Moderate sweet and bitter. About medium body and a lot of soft feeling carbonation. Decent blonde, sometimes a bit saison-ish.

Bottle from RW80 in a Local EU Swap. Thanks! Too much peated malt overwhelms the aroma and flavour.slightly sourish feeling, also somewhat overcarbonated. Not much else to say here. The beer is not bad in my opinion, but definitely a sipper and completely out of balance. Still interesting though.
