Description
Wij zijn jonge ambitieuze brouwers die trots zijn op ‘onze’ stad Amersfoort. Wij brouwen gedurfde speciaalbieren die je zintuigen prikkelen. Hierbij nemen we vaak de nodige risico’s, zoals bier gerijpt op vaten. Dit bier rijpt veel langer dan gebruikelijk en de uitkomst is verbluffend. We willen de bierdrinker en onszelf blijven uitdagen. Iets wat niet lijkt te kunnen, doen we toch. Aan de andere kant hebben we veel respect voor ambacht en traditie. Daarin gaan we dan ook weer “all the way”.

Rock City Beers startte in 2014 als brouwerijhuurder. De naam van de brouwerij is een verwijzing naar de bijnaam van de stad Amersfoort: de Keistad. In 2015 werd er al ongeveer 460 hectoliter geproduceerd. In februari 2016 nam de brouwerij de licentie van Phoenix over van UDB Export. In december 2017 wordt de naam gewijzigd van Rock City Beers naar Rock City Brewing. In 2018 opent de brouwerij een brewpub in Amersfoort. Op vrijdag 2 januari 2018 werd de brouwerij officieel geopend.

Can @ home. Slightly unclear, golden body under a small, but lacing white head. Aroma has malt, citric fruits, pear and hint of toffee. Taste is sweet malt, some caramel, a bit boozy, marmalade, perfumed and quite bitter. Balanced body with an average length aftertaste that feels sweet and bitter. Surprisingly big difference between what to expect from aroma and actual taste here. Decent, but feels a bit messy in taste.

Can. Sugary-sweet, lightly warming and boozy, but feels rather thin on the palate. Cocoa, dark chocolate, brown sugar, vanilla and a touch of dark dried fruit. Flawless, just not my kind of bock bier at all. 646311 260127

330ml can, many thanks to Frida and Esben. Pretty decent, nicely roasted, but a tad too sweet. Lactose backbone. ( Tromsø, 10.01.2026).
