About
Brouwerij Hommeles werd opgericht door Jos Eberson, Jan Ausems en Kees Volkers vanuit het Houtens Brouwcollectief.
Met het collectief wilde de drie mannen de Utrechtse speciaalbiercultuur op de kaart zetten door middel van brouw demonstraties,
een lokaal speciaalbierfestival met alleen brouwers uit de provincie en door het delen van de geschiedenis van bier in de provincie.
Het charmante Utrechtse Bierbrouwersfestival (UBF) dat werd gehouden bij Molen de Ster in Utrecht groeide al snel uit tot een populair festival dat uit zijn voegen barstte, en verhuisde naar evenementenlocatie De Fabrique aan de rand van Utrecht. Ook was de vraag naar het bier dat door de drie mannen werd gebrouwen inmiddels zo groot geworden dat er een flink assortiment was ontstaan. Geschonken bij cafés en restaurants in de regio en verkocht bij verschillende speciaalzaken. Zo werd een stichting een BV, en werd brouwen serious business.

Since 22 december 2020 owned completely by Huttenkloas where also all the beers are brewed.

33 cl. can shared with Niek and Joop @ the brewery.
Hazy dark golden with a white head. Hoppy citrus aroma. Sweet taste with a nice caramelly sweet finish. Not very much a DNEIPA but more an old-fashioned double IPA. Nice one.

33 cl. bottle shared with Niek and Joop @ the brewery.
Clear dark golden with a white head. Very herbal lemon aroma (from the lemon verbena) with some apple. Sweet taste with a low bitter finish. Nice and interesting beer but too herbal for my brother and father.
