Grolsche Bierbrouwerij Nederland
Commercial Brewery
in Boekelo,
Overijssel,
Netherlands 🇳🇱
Owned by
Asahi Breweries
Established in 1615
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.

From tap at Noordelijk Kerst- en Winterbierenfestival Hoogeveen 2019. Grapey and somewhat fruity aroma with noticeable champagne yeast character. Mildly dry finish, not picking up the 10%. Medium bodied. Meh, okay I guess, not sure what the fuzz is about and glad I got just a taster.

Bottle from a local supermarket. Modest hoppy aroma with grainy malt, candied fruity notes, some sweet orange, caramel, touch of pine. Flavour is sweetish and moderate to medium bitter. Body is medium. Only mildly hoppy as expected from big beer, but scrub IPA from the label and it's a pretty decent beer.

Аромат приятный, нежный, солодовый, слегка сладкий. Цвет обычный, золотистый, легкая мыльная пенка. Вкус совершенно обычный, как у лагера даже не пилзнера. Не терпкий, легкий, ощущаются нотки солода. Послевкусие вообще пустоватое, лишь совсем легкая тонкая хмелевая горчинка.
