Dunkes Bier is a German Style Pilsner made from the authentic, 188-years old, Schönberger family recipe from Millstadt’s Sister City, Gross-Bieberau, Germany founded in 787.
In their ancient Odenwälder dialect, “Dunkes” is a friendly word for a person from Gross-Bieberau. Schönberger bierbraurie was founded in 1835 but closed it many years ago.
We named this beer in honor of that deep tradition as Millstadt was founded in 1836 about the time ancestors of many current Millstadt residents immigrated here from Gross-Bieberau.
We brew Dunkes Bier to preserve the cultural bier heritage of Gross-Bieberau and honor our own ancestry.

Pour is a chill haze blond with a large white head. Aroma is dry, bready cracker malt. Flavor is the same but in spades. Loads of dry cracker malt. Very bready and rich. This was a super tasty pils. Super rich and malt with a little herbal hop.

Can from Tavour. Pours clear bright gold with a nice foamy head. Aroma is pleasingly grass/spice with bready support. Med body. Not wholly dry, but the breadiness goes well with the grass/spice. Spice tingles in the finish. Good.
