Dutch Brewery # 1 – Duits & Lauret

duits en Lauret

Our first stop in the Netherlands is at Duits & Lauret.  Which is a “speciaalbierbrouwerij” brewing “speciaalbieren”.  They also recently invaded the states with some of their beers.  And by invade, I mean stopped at Belmont Station during Oregon BrewFest time.

Here is what I would sample first if I walked up to their booth at a beer fest…..

Extra (Sterke) Blonde – I know I should try the blonde first but I think I would go to the Extra first.

TreVeden 2013 – A Robust porter would be my next stop and this version offers wood and smoke notes.

Dopplebock – Taking the next step up to a German style gone Dutch.

Stout – Gotta finish with the stout to make a full comparison of the line-up.
