About
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.

In 2026 overgenomen door Grolsch.

300 ml bottle. Light brown/dark red body with a small beige head. Aroma is spicy, like a Christmas cake. Flavor is sweet malt, caramel, cloce, cardamom, ginger and some kind of bitterness. It’s a lot of Christmas in this beer.

Bottle, 6.5%. Very vinous aroma, smells quite old, but is not. Dark copper colour, small white head. The flavour is also vinous and reminds me of a beer consisting of 90 percent lager and 10 percent oud bruin. Not bad though, but the sweetness is a little sugary. Medium carbonation. Ends with alcohol and roughness which actually suits this beer. Grows on me.

Biologisch Pilsner from Gulpener Bierbrouwerij

7/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7
Huge, fluffy, snowwhite head, leaving shards of lace over big-bubbled, deep-golden beer. Very malty aroma, over-malty,like maltbiscuits, lightly toasted. Quite German in character; Very nice, toasted & fresh malty flavours, sweet but just held in check by hops, not giving bitterness, nor real hopflavour, but making it markedly drier in the finish. Light to medium bodied, too much malt to get anywhere watery. Light slickness, slightly burning MF. Surprisingly good, even excellent maltbomb in the form of a Pilsner. Seen the simple package, and the similar, if even superior characteristics, the Limburg brewery could sell this to a flattering quality/price proportion compared to their oompah Chateau Neubourg... if only I hadn’t to find this in a... biofeed shop " guaranteed to cost more than the sum of its contents " as Punch already wrote 3 decennia ago...

(Bottle, Monk’s Café, Stockholm) Dark brown colour with ruby hints, frothy pale brown head. Malty, slightly closed, nose with notes of dark fruit, chocolate and slight hints of cellar. Malty taste with dark fruit, ginger biscuits, toasty malt and spicy hops in a balanced finish. Tasty and balanced beer.
