Description
X-brewing staat voor bieren met smaak die de grens opzoeken en er regelmatig overheen gaan. Niet snel zul je horen dat onze bieren mooi uitgebalanceerd of allemansvriendjes zijn. Ongehinderd door geboden over bieren en stijlen brouwen wij over de top en uit balans. Dit wel met eerlijke produkten en zonder toevoeging van smaak- of kleurstoffen. X-brewing: Meer smaak. Beers with an X.

X-brewing gaat een stap groter met een eigen brouwerij. Wij, Eva ten Haaf en Dennis Admiraal, hebben na 3 jaar huurbrouwen een mooie core-range aan bieren bij een groeiend aantal klanten in Nederland staan en gaan nu een stap groter door een eigen brouwerij neer te zetten.

Opaque colour, small brownish head. Sweetness, toffee, toasted malts, licorice in the nose. Medium-bodied. Maple syrupy flavour with licorice vibe. Sweetish, not very robust. Hides ABV well.

Blik gekregen van Roelzie, samen geprobeerd. Het is een troebel donkerbruin bier met een volle bruinige schuimkraag. Het heeft een aroma van kokos. De smaak is vol chocolade en kokos.

X-Brewing Shadow Fuel

Sampled at Hop On Hop Off Festival, Breda, 2026. Dark brown to black color, slight dark red glare coming through when held into the light. Aroma is brown malts and coffee. Flavor is malts, coffee, but a lot of brown malts and residu. Hard to explain but it tastes muddy. Too young maybe? More of an English brown ale now. Needs work imo. 7-6-6-6-5

Can from Lekkerbier, Sint Nicolaasga. Roasted malt, notes of salty liquorice, hop, some orange and pine. Medium bitter, lightly sweet. A bit rough around the edges, had way better BIPA.
