Description
Vanuit het hobbybrouwen groeide de hobby van Ben Theunissen uit tot een volwaardige brouwerij in de kelder (2.40 meter hoog en een oppervlak van 27 vierkante meter) van zijn huis. Begonnen in de keuken met het brouwen van 20 liter bier per keer, kon er in de kelder in een brouwinstallatie van Brewtools al 100 liter bier worden gebrouwen. De benodigde vergunning was 25 augustus 2021 binnen. Het eerste commerciële bier, Start-up Tripel, was geboren. In de loop van 2021 werden er extra vergistingsvaten aangeschaft om de capaciteit van de brouwerij te vergroten. De brouwerij brouwt voornamelijk limited editions, die vroeg of laat weer opnieuw kunnen worden gebrouwen.

Amarilla palida, nebulosa, de espuma abundante jabonosa. Duradera. Buen aroma cítrico de notas especiadas. En boca presenta exceso de gas en el limite de lo tolerable. Sabor agradable en linea con el aroma con algún añadido ligeramente ácido. Discreta.
