Dutch Brewery # 2 – Rooie Dop

The second stop in the Netherlands is Rooie Dop. Don’t even ask how to pronounce it. Just drink up from this Utrecht brewery.

And the first beer on my e-taster tray is “Dedicated to the king of all Dutch beer hunters – Ot Louw. A bitter concoction dry hopped with our American hops into an 8% double IPA.

Utrecht Strong Ale is next a big ale that has “Big hops dominate the aroma and big malts support them in taste.”

Lastly I will try the Double Oatmeal Stout Bourbon Barrel Aged Russian Imperial Oatmeal Stout. Long name indeed. They “took our regular Double Oatmeal Stout and put that beauty in barrels. It has been aged for five months in three different barrels: Wild Turkey, Satin wood and Buffalo Trace.”

I haven’t seen their beers in the L.A. market but they have done collaboration beers with English breweries to create a Double White IPA and a Lapsang Saison so maybe they might hop the pond to the US!

PS – As of today, Daily Grind, their coffee beer is in LA now!
