Hannen was an own brewery until sold to Oettinger in 2005. Hannen was then owned by Carlsberg and brewed at Brauerei Königshof, Krefeld. In 2022 the brand was sold to Privatbrauerei Bolten, Korschebroich, where it's brewed since then.

Sampled from 0.5 l bottle from local 'trinkgut', best before December 2018. Clear, very dark reddish amber with a medium large, frothy, slowly diminishing, light beige head. Sweetish, slightly grassy-spicy aroma of grains, nuts, some straw and a touch of cardboard. Slightly sweetish, moderately bitter, quite dry, moderately grassy-spicy taste of grains, toasted nuts, straw and some cardboard, followed by a short, medium bitter, quite dry and moderately grassy-spicy finish with a touch of iron. Thin to medium body, slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Pretty bad.

Bottle from Beers of Europe, Kings Lynn. Pours slightly hazy deep chestnut brown with a short lasting off white head. Aroma of malt, caramel, hop, dark fruit and light chocolate. Medium sweetness, light bitterness. Medium body, slight sticky texture, soft carbonation. Finish is sweet, and malty. Certainly had worst bottled Altbiers.
