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.

0,5 l bottle from kappldav123. Thanks a lot! BB 24.03.26. Clear mid golden with a more than one finger white foamy head in the glass. Looks good. A lot of malt on the nose, grainy background. Taste is also malty with a big shot caramel sweetness. Bitterhop in the second row. Little bit above average carbonation. Easy to drink. Not bad.

16.9 oz. can from the Costco 2025 German Biergarten Collection. Pours a semi-clear orange-bronze color with a thick, tight beige head and excellent retention. Great lacing too. Lots of fine streaming bubbles. Sweet toffee aroma. The taste follows the nose, with sweet toffee and malt flavor throughout. Very clean and smooth. Medium body and light, fine carbonation. Not bitter. Good sweet beer.

Bottle 50 cl. Pours a clear, deep golden with a rich, white, lacing head with excellent retention. An aroma of rich, fat malts and some flowery hops. Solid, clean malty base with a sturdy, finishing bitterness. It's uncomplicated and it's very well made. 241025
