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.

Bottled (Pikkulintu, BB 10/2009). Deep amber-copper color, small off-white head. Strong Islay whisky aroma, wet wood. Malty, not hoppy (only maybe some grass), smokey - lots of Islay whisky character ... Very uncommon German beer.
