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.

George Rittmayer Weizen. 500 ml can from the Costco German Biergarten Collection. Pours an opaque gold color with a small white head and decent retention. Fair lacing. Standard yeast and cloves aroma. The taste follows the nose: Yeasty flavor up front, with some cloves and fruity banana esters in the finish. Good example of the style, but not my preferred style. Better than most Hefeweizens I've had. Medium body. Medium-light carbonation. Not bitter.

500 ml can from the 2025 Costco German Biergarten Collection. Pours a clear bronze color with a beige head and very good retention. Very good lacing too. Light caramel malt aroma. The taste follows the nose: Sweet caramel malt flavor throughout. Tastes like an Oktoberfest beer. Very smooth and clean. Medium body. Lower than expected carbonation. Zero bitterness. Best beer in the box so far.

500 ml can from the Costco German Biergarten Collection. Pours a crystal clear gold color with a large white head and great retention. Great lacing too. Standard pale malt aroma. Likewise, straightforward pale malt flavor with a soft bready finish and very minor sulfur notes. Very clean and smooth. Nothing special, just a good lager. Medium body. Lower than expected carbonation. Not bitter.

Bottle from Hausmann Getränke. 4.9%, Not sure if it's unfiltered, nice tall head, golden amber. Nice clean grain/hay spicy Helles nose. The flavor is full and tasty, tiny herbal hints/maybe a tic of vegetal flavor. Good lasting head, great one!

Flaska från Bierothek. Disig honungsfärgad vätska med medelhögt krämigt skum. Söta gyllene smaker, söt malt, honung, nektar. Stor kropp, mjuka harmoniska smaker, distinkt kryddig beska. En riktigt bra bock. Mycket gott

Hazy golden. Aroma is light grain and bread dough with light noble hops. Pretty rich. Taste is sweet and rich with chewy malt and big hop bitterness. Full body and nice finish. Good one!
