Stephen Grigg from brewery De Kromme Haring
Stephen is an avid hobbyist brewer and also occasionally contract brewer at De Kromme Haring. Especially for Bierberaad he brewed an experimental new beer, fermented with 'trois'; the fruity brett strain that recently has been revealed to not be brett. For Bierberaad he will elaborate on how to convert an idea into a finished beer, while creatively making use of the resources you have available. Also he will show off the Braumeister brewing set and the many potential ways it could be used.
Tasting: Special brewed 'Trois' beer
Zowie Jannink from La Bolleur
La Bolleur is a multidisciplinary design studio, founded by a group of thinkers and makers that take having fun seriously. And having fun almost equals beer. For the Huttenfestival in Tilburg they made a draft installation, including a beer tower, an ice-tunnel and a bar. But you also might know them from their own brewed and branded beer: Boys Beer.
Tasting: Boys Beer
Hoptasting with Simon Buijs and Henriëtte
What hop do you want in your beer? Hops are the bitter female flowers that are used to oppose the sweetness of the malt (bitter hop) and/or to flavour beer (aroma hop). But it also stabilises the beer and keeps it from turning bad. In this talk we discuss known and less known, classic and new hopping. We will taste and compare a basic beer that has been dry-hopped with different hop-types, leading to different flavors.
Tasting: 2 types of dry-hopped beer, made by Henriette
Hops in pantyhose - 45g of hops stuffed in a pantyhose to prevent from falling in the cereal brough.
