A brewery from Hengelo with its own way of life
Gallivant is listed on Untappd as a microbrewery in Hengelo, Overijssel. On its own website, the brewery describes itself as a way of life: proud, impulsive, chest out. They call strolling their watermark.
The mission is to let everyone enjoy craft beer with a story. According to the brewery, the beers are full of flavour, a little bit cheeky, but always with style. The sources reveal nothing about the founders, the year of founding or the brewing equipment, so we'll leave it at that.
Playful thirst quenchers and powerful statements
Gallivant gives each beer its own theme and its own story. Mango Tango is a 5% Hefeweizen with a hint of mango, meant as a fruity, refreshing summer beer. Jolly Yankee Juice is a fruity, juicy New England IPA, also 5%.
On the heavier side is Blonde Amber, a strong blond of 8%. The brewery describes white chocolate, fruit and vanilla, and a finish that makes itself known. In their own words: from playful flirting with the Flaneer Beer to a firm wink from the Triple Wingman.

Drink the lighter beers such as Mango Tango well chilled and preferably as fresh as possible, so the fruit comes through best.
