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.

16.9 oz. can from the Costco 2025 German Biergarten Collection. Pours a clear gold color with a very large white head and excellent retention. Great lacing too. Standard bready malt aroma. The taste follows the nose, with even more malty and bready notes than the aroma. Really smooth and clean. Medium body. Medium-light carbonation. Low bitterness. Good beer.

500ml bottle from Lidl UK, in a Festpack of ten different beers. Poured into an old Schultheiss half litre tall glass at home on 20th November 2025. Bright, clean and clear golden body, inch crown of white foam on top. Malty front with a crisp caramel undertone. It's very easy to gulp, having it with some cheese, crackers and 'Fig, Apple & Balsamic' chutney.
