Description
The entire idea of Oriel Beer went back in 2015 when we created the brand and started to make the building from scratch. Oriel Beer is a small family brewery, fully operated by ourselves, located in Bucharest, Romania.
The name Oriel comes from the archangel of light, wisdom, illumination and sun. He is a patron of the arts and science for his ability to inspire and one of the seven archangels who preside over the world.
He sparked our mind with ideas and we created this beautiful project.
Since we are a very small brewery, our production capacity is very limited and we can produce around 200 hectoliters per year, but we aim to expand in short time.

Red brown colour with lasting thin head. Earthy aroma with some funkiness. The sweeter cherry element takes down the sharpness. Quite woody.

From Preston: pours light mahogany with beige head. Aroma is spicy rye, whiskey, vanilla, dark fruit. Taste is slightly boozy, dark fruit, spicy ting. Pretty drinkable for the boost.
