Description
Johann Gottfried Glauner decided in 1877 to put the local, closed-down brewery, back on its feet. He sent his son, Karl Albert, to Weihenstephan to learn the skills of beer brewing. Karl returned in 1880 as a master of his trade and with all the energy of his young years, determined to brew "the best beer far and wide". It was indeed a beer destined to outlive its numerous local competitors. To this day the Alpirsbacher beers have lost nothing of their popularity... and the Glauner family continues to brew their excellent beer in Alpirsbach in the fourth generation.

0.5 l bottle from local 'Getränke Hoffmann', best before May 2025. Clear, golden with a medium large, frothy, almost stable, white head. Sweetish, slightly malty aroma of grains and some straw. Gently sweet, malty, moderately bitter taste of grains, some straw and traces of iron, followed by a short, gently bitter finish. Almost medium-bodied, gently effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Overly boring Festbier, even a bit metallic, would never consider drinking this for Christmas.

Noch was neues aus der Kalea-Deutschlandbierreisebox für mich. Ein gefälliges Kellerbier aus dem Kloster⛪, das sich angenehm trinken lässt ohne muffig zu sein. Allerdings kommt es auch nicht so urig 👴 rüber, wie es das Marketing gerne verkaufen würde.
