About
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.

Uit het Lidl Festpakket. Kraakheldere gouden body en een witte kraag (met toef) die mooi blijft liggen. Geur is moutig, zoetig, fruitig. Ook wat geroosterd brood in de mond. Smaak is licht zoetig met een vleugje bitter. Lichte tot medium body. Milde bitterheid in de afdronk.

16.9 oz. can from the Costco 2025 German Biergarten Collection. Pours a crystal clear gold color with a tight off-white head and very good retention. Great lacing. Pale malt and light caramel malt aroma. The taste follows the nose, with a mix of pale malt and caramel malt/toffee flavors. Super clean and smooth. And the 6.8% ABV is invisible. Medium body. Low carbonation Very low bitterness. Great beer.

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.
