Description
The history of the Hofbräu brewery goes back to the 14th century. The acquisition of the “Prew-Haus” on the town square in 1487 by Peter Turmair is considered to be the birth of the Hofbräu brewery. Josef Neumeyer and his son Joseph run the Hofbräu brewery in the 6th and 7th generation, respectively. The Hofbräu beer is traditionally brewed exclusively from regional raw materials.

Bottle loooks a bit complex, but okay. Beer dark brown, small head. Starts very mild, malty, modest roasty. Light fruity touch. Finish shows some earthy notes, still very mild. Okay!

Bottle looks a bit complex. Beer in the glass very dark, nice head. Malty aroma. Starts very yeasty, modest fruity, quite moldy from the beginning. Dusty and dry, roasty-malty and still moldy finish. I didnt like it!
