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.

Subtle aroma of sweet malts, toffee, hints of grass and toast, slightly perfumy. Subtle, with the right balance between bitter and sweet.

Bottle from Beer Lovers, Vienna. Pours clear amber with an average sized, quite short lasting, white head. Aroma of malt, hop, fruit, veg, grass and caramel. Quite heavy sweetness, light bitterness. Medium body, oily and watery texture, average carbonation. Finish is sweet, caramel, with a mild but slightly sharp underlying bitterness. Fair.

Der Granit des Innviertels soll für das weiche Brauwasser und in weiterer Folge für das süffige Bier dieser Region verantwortlich sein. Darum wird ihm diese Granitbier-Reihe gewidmet. Hier bekommt der Trinker ein schönes, bersteinfarbenes Bier mit einem tollen Malzkern und schönen Karamellnoten, welche gepaart mit schönen röstigen Schwarzbrotaromen kommen. Ein feines Bier mit einem schönen HIntergrund.

0,33 l bottle, Vichy style. Bought at Hof Luckmann, Bissendorf, Germany. Clear amber in the glass, small white head. Malty with some sweetness on the nose. Taste starts with sweet toasted malt, some fruitieness in the second row. Later caramell, smooth, earthy, some hop in the background, low bitterness, low carbonation. Okay.
