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.

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.

Bottle says you either love it or hate it. Wrong: I'm indifferent to it. Brewed just outside of Bamberg, it's definitely outside of that quality parameter as well. Peated smoke. One note. Souvenir from my trip.

Costco box: pours light amber with off white head. Caramel and bready. Low bitterness. Somewhat sweet. Inoffensive and pleasant enough.
