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.

Bottle, thanks to Sebastian (DerDoppelbock) for trading!
Clear, amber body. Off-white frothy head. Earthy, slightly hoppy aroma, not very intense. Moderately bitter, lightly sweet flavour: steady hoppiness combined with some light malts. The hops are fastly increasing after some seconds and are staying quite long. Quite nice.
