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.

Sampled from tap at Brouwersfestival Utrecht 2016. Pinkish red, no head. Sweetish-fruity aroma of raspberries, strawberries and redcurrant. Very sweet, fruity taste of raspberries, strawberries and redcurrant, followed by a short, sweet finish. Thin to medium body, slightly oily mouthfeel, flat. Very interesting, quite tasty actually, but beer?

Sample from tap @ Utrechts Brouwers Fesitval 2016, with Zlotta, Caesar, Benzai & ShivanDragon. Black color. Hardly any head, frothy. Aroma’s: whisky, red fruit, soy sauce. Retronasal it’s a bit salty/umami, whisky, something weird (hard to describe). Flavor is roasted, umami, light sweet. Strong alcohol feel. Medium bodied. Finishes with roast, some chocolate, rather bitter. I liked this slightly better than the Linkwood version, but still not mindblowing.

Sampled @ UBF 2016. Unclear dark pink to fluorescent red color, no head. Very sweet sugar and candy aroma. Taste is sweet, candy, sugar, but also a hint of bitter and a hint of ’real’ strawberries. Not sour at all though, very sweet. Weird stuff, and as a beer not so good, but nice for a change.
