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.

Yellow-brown head, slightly irregular dark beer with bright-ruby highlights. Sweet, gingerbread nose, vanilla, green cardemoms, caramel filling, very pâtisserie-like. Burnt, roasted, (autumn)leafy flavours (nuts & mushrooms), much less sweet than suggested by the nose. Bit coca-cola-like too, all the same (qua combination sweet-spicyness). Palate is a bit empty, shame. Rather fizzy, bit burning MF. Medium bodied at best. I like the initial taste, but gradually, too easy soft-drink characteristics take over. As said, shame, it appears to have more possibilities.

Château Neubourg from Gulpener Bierbrouwerij

6/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 5
Deeper gold, well carbonated to huge, dirty white, fluffy head. In the empty glass, the head is still clinging on, and seen its colour, I suspect the use of iron... Very imposing toasted malts aroma, near honeyish; grainstore, even bit dusty. Good balance between malty sweetness and a hoppy lining (both in the initial moment as in the finish). Tad flowery, but not very original. Has a certain body, not light; a bit burning MF, which I associate with both heavy carbonation and the toasted malts. I need to correct this down, as, despite its individual OK characteristics in detail, it is not something I’d search for - despite the fancy blue bottle.

Medium creamy white head; hazy yellow body. Light citric aroma with yeast notes. Taste is citrus with yeast and soft spice notes. Milky taste lingers. Aftertaste is dry. Not at all bad; drinkable. (0.33l bottle.)

Bottled. Hazy golden colour, small white head. Aroma is wheat, citrus, yeast and caramel. Flavour is spices, wheat and citrus. Slight dishwatery notes. Nothing special, but drenches your thirst.

Bottled (BB 05/2007). Hazy yellow, not much head. Banana in the nose. Light, carbonated, fruity, banana flavors, not spiced, so more like German than Belgian wheat beer.

4.1/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 4 Flavor 3 Texture 4 Overall 3.5
[Bottled at Monk’s Café, Stockholm] Clear golden, airy head. The nose holds petrol, butter and caramel, and it’s burning with alcohol. Very sweet and fruity with a good amount of soft toffeish malt, but the malt has no chance to compete with the alcohol. It ends up feeling unbalanced and raw.

[Bottled at Monk’s Café, Stockholm] Cloudy golden. Sweet and fruity with medium body and clean mouthfeel. Overcarbonation makes it very fizzy, but yet it revelas an evident wheat malt character and some flowery characteristics.

500ml bottle: pours cloudy amber colour with dense white head. Aroma of spice (clove?) and fruit. Taste is sweet to start with, the dry and spicey then ending sweet again.
