Description
Als onafhankelijke familiebrouwerij genieten we al sinds 1825 van onze vrijheid. De vrijheid om onze eigen koers te varen en alleen te doen wat goed voelt. De vrijheid om de smaak van bier niet af te vlakken, maar te verrijken en continu te zoeken naar vernieuwende smaken. Die vrijheid ervaren wij al 8 generaties en dat proef je terug in onze 16 speciaalbieren. We hebben een sterke band met onze omgeving en zijn graag van waarde voor de wereld om ons heen. Daarom brouwen we bier met water uit eigen bronnen, gebruiken we hop uit eigen hoptuin en komt onze gerst van boeren uit de regio. Dit alles houdt onze ‘voetafdruk’ laag en maakt Gulpener tegelijkertijd tot het enige echte bier van Nederlands bodem.

Onze hop komt ook uit de regio. In Reijmerstok, een dorpje op steenworpafstand van de brouwerij, verbouwt familie Wouters volledig milieuvriendelijk drie hopsoorten die onmisbaar zijn voor onze bieren. Het oogsten van de prachtige hopbellen is elk jaar weer een bijzonder moment. Samen met familie en vrienden van de brouwerij oogsten we dan niet alleen onze hop, de basis van onze karaktervolle bieren, we vieren ook het feit dat we vrij zijn. Vrij om onze eigen koers te varen en alleen te doen wat goed voelt.

Huge thanks to Erzengel for sharing! Bottle looks simple but good. Beer in the glass dark black, almost no head. Intense roasty-malty-smokey aroma. Starts strong-malty, sharp, alcoholic. Woody-berry notes. Bitter background. Finish could be more balanced. Not bad.

30cl bottle from Valkenburg (2025 version, BB 19th April 2028). Poured into a La Chouffe tulip glass at home on 21st February 2026 after watching Grimsby Town lose by 3 goals to one at Bristol Rovers (we were bloody awful) on television. Dark brown body, tanned roof of smooth, tight bubbles, which sadly departed very swiftly. Sweet malty taste with a slight harshness in the aftertaste of each mouthful. Brown sugar with a trace of saltiness within the flavour.
