You Probably Didn’t Know These Hero’s Behind Grolsch

ICE COLD BEER - The pay-off line that very rarely seems to fail. But did you know about Magnum and Hercules, just 2 of the more interesting facts about superhero hops...
What’s not to love about 500ml of perfectly balanced Grolsch draught? If you’re thinking nothing; that’s spot on. But here are a few additional facts you might not know, which will only make you savour the brew even more…
Grolsch has been around for nearly 400 years, and since 1615 has had the courage to make interesting choices, like adding two hops to the brew. They’re considered so interesting in fact, that they’re the only beer to have been awarded the Dutch Royal Seal of Approval.

Water is never just water when it comes to the careful brewing of Grolsch, and a premium, centuries-old recipe needs to remain consistent wherever you drink it, which is why the water used in their Netherlands brewery still comes from the original water source: a 7km pipeline from the original water source to the new environmentally friendly brewery was built just to ensure this.

What makes the taste of Grolsch so unique, you may ask? Let us introduce you to Magnum and Hercules, the two superhero hops of their brew that pack one punch for flavour and another for aroma. They’re bold and distinctive, unique and memorable – just like the people who choose to drink the premium draught. If you’re one of the interested, there’s really no other choice to make but the interesting one with an ice cold Grolsch draught! #Cheersch.
