Jonge Beer Brouwerij

Microbrewery in Hoogeveen, Drenthe, Netherlands 🇳🇱

Established in 2014

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.

Bottle [from trade with RW80, thanks Robert!] @ home. Nice dark red to dark amber brown color, full sized eventually quite creamy beige head that lasts for quite a long time. Aroma is malts, lightly iron, some sweetness, lightly raisins. Taste malts, lightly sweetish initially, raisins again lightly, a bit alcoholic which normally isn’t that annoying, but in this case I feel it gets in the way of the flavor in a way that I think there’s more to taste (dark, overripe fruits and perhaps more) but it just doesn’t come through now that the alcohol overpowers it. That said, I think this is one of the best "first (commercial) try" barley wines I’ve ever tasted, though I admit that the total number is limited. Anyway, think they’ve made a real good start with this one. Given time this could turn out to be a very solid barley wine style exemple imo.
