As the 500-year-old Mühlviertel tradition goes, on special occasions brewery workers would fill large buckets (Kübel) with beer directly from the fermentation tanks. They would then pass around this extremely fresh, unfiltered beer and drink from the Kübel in turn. Because none of the proteins, yeast, or hop essences had been filtered out, this beer was fuller and more aromatic than any other they served. For this exact reason, our former head brewer, Franz Krammer, took it upon himself to bring this age-old tradition back to life.

16.9 oz. bottle purchased @ Bier Cellar, Portland, ME for $4.39. Foamy white head laced the lager glass real well. Nose is sweet grain and a light Euro hops aroma. Bread yeast leads off the flavors with yeast and a light grassy hop in the finish. Lots of pale malt balanced nice with a solid lingering bitterness. Medium body with a texture that is mostly drying. It’s ok.

Dieses Zwickel-Bier gibt es auch schon länger und es erfreut sich großer Beliebtheit. Den Namen verdankt es dem Faktum, dass früher, als die Brauerei noch eine Hausbrauerei war, das Bier aus dem Keller mit einem Flaschenzug in Kübeln (Eimern) direkt in den Schankraum gehoben wurde. Dabei bleib es immer frisch und es gab kein abgestandenes Bier in irgendwelchen Leitungen. Dies wird zwar heute nicht mehr gemacht, aber das Bier ist geblieben. Es ist ein malziges, vollmundiges Bier, von dem man gerne ein paar Kübel trinken kann.
