Brouwerij Eembier is op 18 mei 2006 opgericht. Sinds 2006 brouwt Eembier al haar bieren volgens het Reinheitsgebot. Krachtige hoppige bieren zónder toevoegingen zoals kruiden. Onze Eembieren krijgen alle tijd om rustig te rijpen in de lagertanks. En dat proef je terug in onze smaakvolle bieren!

Sinds mei 2018 heeft brouwerij Eembier haar eigen brouwlocatie,
gelegen naast de haven in het pittoreske vestingstadje Elburg.

Aroma of toasted malt, caramel, nuts, bread, sweet dark fruits, some chocolate notes. Flavour is moderate to medium sweet with a light to moderate bitter finish. Not a bad beer but the brewer was out of his mind when he named this "Dark Saison". As such, extremely disappointing.

Aroma of roasted malt, caramel, fruity notes, raisins, chocolate. Flavour is moderate sweet with a moderate bitter finish. Rather strong flavour. As Dubbels go this one is quite alright, nice hoppy bitterness.

Brewed exclusively for Restaurant De Haas in Elburg. Aroma of bready malt, strong floral notes, hint of caramel, hint of fruits, some hoppy notes. Flavour is moderate to medium sweet with a light to moderate bitter finish. Supposedly based on a recently discovered 200-yeard old recipe. Either way, it’s a decent beer.

From tap at Café ’t Pandje, Utrecht. Aroma of biscuity malt, fruits, citrus, yeast, hoppy notes, a hint of diacetyl noticeable in my sample, but I see no other mentions of it so I am willing to forgive. Flavour is light sweetish with a light to moderate bitter finish. Body is medium. This is not much of an IPA.

Bottle at home. Aroma is smoked malt, smokey bacon, caramel, sweet malt. Flavour is over moderate sweet with a hint of bitterness in the finish. Medium bodied. Enjoyable Rauchbier in the Bamberg tradition.

Bottle at home. Aroma is soft roasted malt, coffee, liquorice, chocolate, some caramel, and a touch of salmiak in the finish. Flavour is medium sweet with a little roasty bitterness. Body is medium to full. I wasn’t too keen on the other Tasty Lady beers, but I’ve got to say this is a surprisingly ’tasty’ Porter!

From tap at Rootz, Den Haag. Classic Belgian blond aroma of light malt, yeast, fruity and mild spicy notes. Flavour is light to moderate sweet and light bitter. Body is medium. Simply well-made, enjoyable example of the style.
