Description
Centuries of brewing tradition, the best ingredients and strict compliance with the Bavarian Purity Law of 1516 are quality that you can taste with every sip! The Rittmayer Brewery is one of the oldest breweries in Forchheimer Land. The family business dates back to 1422. The brewery even received its own coat of arms certificate from the Count of Kulmbach because of its good beer.

In spring 2012, our new brewery on the outskirts of Hallerndorf went into operation right next to our filling center. It is one of the most innovative medium-sized breweries in all of Germany.

500ml can from the Costco German Biergarten Collection, drank on Easter Sunday, 20th April 2025. Brown with a beige head. Not as smoky as I expected, sure it was smoky, but not as intense as I've had in Bamberg.

500ml can (as Hallerndorfer Weizen @5.5% ABV) from the Costco German Biergarten Collection. Drank in California on 18th April 2025, poured into an old Licher Weizen glass at my daughters. Hazed golden body, snow white crown. Wheat, banana and cloves, all the usual aromas in fact, taste also on the traditional side with the same flavours the nose suggests.

500ml can from the Costco German Biergarten Collection. Drank on 5th April 2025 in California at my daughters. Lovely bright amber body, off white crown on top. Malty lead in both the aroma and taste, nice balance with a slight hop bitter underbelly. Some caramel sweetness giving way to a mild bitter finish.

500ml can from the Costco German Biergarten Collection. Clean and bright golden body, soft white crown on top, drank on 5th April 2025 in California, at my daughters. Light malty, semi sweet front to this one, not the body depth I associate with German Festbier's but I did enjoy this.

Pours a clear dark bronze color with a giant beige head and great retention. Great lacing too. Aroma of smoked sausages. The taste follows the nose: Smoked sausage / meat stick flavor mixed with sweet caramel malt flavor. Well done. It doesn't suffer from the dry ashtray notes of many rauchbiers. Very smooth and clean. A nice surprise. Medium body. Very low carbonation. Not bitter. Good beer.
