Stone masons have a long tradition here in the Mühlviertel region, and therefore much homage has been paid to them. Along with the construction of a “granite nature trail,” we at Hofstetten have also brewed a granite beer. The result is a beverage worthy of the stone masons: robust and dark.

A shimmering dark amber in color, our Hofstettner Granitbier is too tempting to resist. On the first sip, light caramel notes unfold from the perfect combination of deep brown roasted malts and sweet light malts. Though more of a background player here, the fresh hops provide a wonderfully light floral finish.

The name Granitbier is indicative of the Mühlviertel’s geological history. The local granite works as a natural filter for our water sources, lending a unique character to our beer not found anywhere else in the world.

Bottle 0,33 ltr: Clear amber brew with silky and firm taste, sweet an caramel. Is this an "Stein-Beer" or a kind of "Bock". Not great and not bad.

330 ml bottle from Bier Temple, in Linz, Austria. On the Avalon Impression, in Bratislava, Slovakia. Pours a crystal clear copper color with an off-white head and great retention. Spotty lacing. Light caramel malt aroma. The taste follows the nose: Light caramel malt flavor with a super smooth and clean finish. Medium-light body. Lower than average carbonation. Not bitter. Very repeatable. Great beer.

BBT visits Vienna. Tap at Hawidere. Washing cloth, oxidation, unpleasantly caramelly, astringent. Not exactly best - actually pretty bad.
