Description
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.

Black. Has a really intense flavour of heavily roasted malts and espresso. The maple adds a light sweetness in the finish but it is quite subtle.

Bottle from Mitra Bunnik, medium sample. Dark brown color, medium frothy head. Aroma of coffee, some chocolate, bready malts. Bit sweet in taste, lots of bitter coffee, bit spicy even, roast. Very decent coffee porter. Didnt get a lot of the maple syrup, but that was probably overwhelmed by decent amounts of coffee. Good beer.
