Gruut Gentse Stadsbrouwerij
Microbrewery
in Ghent,
East Flanders,
Belgium 🇧🇪
Associated Venue: Gruut (Gentse Stadsbrouwerij)
Established in 2009
The exceptional property of four of our Ghent Gruuten consists in that they are brewed without hops (only the Inferno is brewed with hops). The research into alternatives to replace the hop herb was of course not without a struggle. After a course in biochemistry and several partnerships with various universities, the Ghent city beer saw the light of day. There are 5 different variations: Gentse Gruut White, Gentse Gruut Blond, Gentse Gruut Amber, Gentse Gruut Bruin and Gentse Gruut Inferno. A special “Maîtresse” beer is also brewed every few months. This beer is special because we experiment with different ingredients. Some examples of ingredients are: mango, lime, chili pepper…
The larger volumes, including for export to America, are brewed at the Bavik brewery in Bavikhove.

Tap at Brouwerij Lane. Pours a cloudy yellow with a fine, white head. Light malt aroma with delicate citrus notes. Flavor is sweet with lots of yeast and wheat to go with mild fruit notes. Light in body with fine carbonation and a smooth mouthfeel. Finishes crisp and sweet. Nice.
