About
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.

Bottle from Bierwinkel Zeist, BB Sept 2019, large sample. Dark color, big frothy brown head. Aroma of roasted malts, dark bread, slight blackcurrant, bit toffee, slight soapy. Slight caramelly sweetness in taste, roasty bitterness, bit coffee and dark bread, bit dry. I didnt expect a lot, because friends said it wasnt superb, but its not bad at all. For a RIS it does lack a bit of power though. I have had stouts of 5% that tasted similar.

Small off-white rim; reddish orange-amber beer. Coffee, ground beans, and overroasted bread. And something as grilled paprika. Bitterish-roasted, but also a tad ammonium. Finish is more malty. Light to medium bodied, Hum.

Thank you for sharing! Sampled bottled @ Gents Bierfestival 2016. Dark orange, little off-white head. Nose is pure coffee grains, cheap instant coffee, burned coffee, watery,… taste is super grainy coffee, thin used coffee grounds, grains, herbal watery,… Grainy stale coffee grains body & watery. It is like they added oodles of used coffee grains to a weak beer, meh.

Clear copper appearance. Amazingly intense aroma of strong espresso. Flavour is similar. Leaves a real, lasting burnt bitterness on the palate. Superb.
