Description
Onze Gringelbieren danken hun naam aan de middeleeuwse Gringelput, de waterput bij de Valkenburgse Grendelpoort. De poortwachters lesten er altijd hun dorst. De put is er al eeuwen niet meer. Slechts een oude spreuk herinnert ons er aan: “Wè neet van de Gringel gedronken haet is geine richtige Valkenberger”. Voor ons reden genoeg om er voor te zorgen dat er een nieuwe Gringel kwam, waar iedere Valkenburger èn onze gasten van kunnen genieten.

Bottle 0,33ltr: Dark brown colored brew with sweet bitter taste, mostly bitter. Hints of caramel, banana, dried fruits and spices. Now this beer had to be brewed in Valkenburg itself, to counter against that silly quote.
