Description
Grolsch was first brewed in Groenlo in 1615 by Willem Neerfeldt. Peter Cuyper, son-in-law of Neerfeldt, was appointed master of the Grolsche brewing guild in 1676. Cuyper died in 1684, after which his descendants continued the business. Until 1876, the beer was brewed in the center of Groenlo. In that year brewery 'De Klok' built a new brewery outside the city. In 1895 it was bought by Theo de Groen, a descendant of a Zevenaar brewing family. Op 3 mei 1922 fuseerde Brouwerij De Klok uit Groenlo met de Twentse Enschedesche Stoombierbrouwerij uit Enschede. Het bedrijf ging verder onder de naam "N.V. Bierbrouwerij De Klok Enschede-Groenlo". Later veranderde de naam in Grolsche Bierbrouwerijen en werd het bier 'Grolsch' genoemd.

The De Groen family has upgraded the company from 1968 from a local brewery to an international company. Until 2004, Grolsch was brewed in Groenlo and Enschede. Since 2004, both locations have been closed and there is a new brewing factory in Boekelo-Usselo.

On 19 November 2007 the board of Royal Grolsch NV accepted a €816 million offer for the company by SABMiller. The takeover was completed with the delisting of Grolsch's shares on 20 March 2008. SABMiller subsequently sold the company to Anheuser-Busch InBev and in April 2016, the latter accepted Asahi Group Holdings Ltd.’s offer to buy not only Grolsch but also the Peroni and Meantime beer brands.

50cl Blik van Vomar. Mistiggouden kleur, crème-witte kraag. Lijkt op een Weizen. Ruikt naar banaan, tarwe, licht kruidig, ook weer erg Weizen-achtig. Smaak van banaan, licht kruidig, appel, enorm gal-achtig bitter, hint van snoepjes / alcohol in de finish. Lichte tot medium body. Vreemd spul, geen idee wat ze hier mee wilden bereiken. Sterke Weizen? Of een Belgian Strong Ale met Weizengist? Minder slecht dan verwacht overigens.

0.3 l bottle from 'AH' (Doesburg), best before November 2025. Clear, golden with a large, frothy, almost stable, white head. Sweetish, gently fruity-floral aroma of grapefruit, orange and tangerine. Quite sweet, moderately bitter, gently fruity-floral and a little artificial taste of grains, grapefruit, orange, tangerine and light sherbet powder, followed by a short, moderately bitter, gently dry finish. Thin to medium body, gently effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Not too bad, but also far from great.

Geprobeerd met LiekevdV, Roelzie, Koenzie, Mimi, Anne, Romy, Meindert en Tessa tijdens een Tasting met Mimi @Tom. Het is een goudgeel bier met een medium witte schuimkraag. Het heeft een aroma van mout en gist. De smaak is moutig en zacht zoet.

I thought I grabbed a different beer on the Utrecht platform, yet here I am.

Very sweet grain forward. Light notes of toast. Full bodied. Finish is alcohol and sweetness. Not worth your time u less you wanna get a cheap drink on.

Not a good brew.
