Description
Patrick Vuurens begon te brouwen met een brouwpakket. Thuis in de keuken werd in een grote pan het eerste bier gebrouwen. Een grotere ketel werd gekocht en daarna werd er gebrouwen met een automatische ketel. De bieren werden beter en er werd gedroomd over het verkopen van zijn bieren. Met behulp van brouwvrienden is Brouwerij Vuurtje officieel begonnen in oktober 2020.

Bottle from Drankenhandel Leiden. As Vuurtje Herfstbock. Dried fruit upfront, with caramel and sweet brown malts. Touch of nuts and toffee. Flavour is medium sweet and mild bitter. Body is medium with fairly low carbonation. Not bad, just needs a little refinement.
