Brouwerij Martinus
Beer brewed in Groningen city centre
In an industrial building where a printing press once operated, brewing kettles are now bubbling away. Mirco Brewery Martinus brews beer using daring recipes. The speciality beer ‘Nuchter’ even literally embodies the character of the city. Fancy a taste? You can try it in an increasing number of pubs across Groningen. Or why not pop along to the tasting room at de brouwerij?
‘Nuchter’ captures the essence of the city
How do you make a beer taste truly ‘Groningen’? This was preceded by a whole research project. Texts about Groningen and beer tasting notes were fed into the computer. Typical Groningen traits turned out to be self-discipline, trust, rebelliousness, a focus on results and artistic flair. So far, nothing new. The ingredients identified through the tasting notes were the surprise. Oats were combined with the right varieties of hops. Full-bodied, down-to-earth and rebellious: this Indian Pale Ale has it all.
All well worth experiencing
Family-run Martinus brews more than Nuchter. Just as Gronings is witbier 1717, brewed in memory of Groningen's storm surge in 1717. Not a fan of white beer or IPA? Then order the Blonde, Tripel, Saison or Imperial Smoked Porter. Whatever special beer you choose, with Martinus you are always right. All beers from this city brewery get great scores in beer app Untapped. Cheers!
