Description
After 75 years of ''abstinence'', the old craft tradition of brewing beer in Zwönitz was brought back to life. On May 17, 1997, a brewery was opened in the old "Schützenhaus". 10-20 hectoliters of beer are produced here every week, strictly according to the German Purity Law.

Big thank you to kappldav123 for this unusual 0,75 l bottle. BB 25.10.2025. Clear golden in the glass, white one finger foamy head. Sweet gariny caramel aroma, hints of buttery elements. Taste starts grainy with caramel sweetness and present bitterness. Mid carbonation. Long lasting bitterness in the aftertaste. Nice one.

75cl bottle from the brewery. Strange format. But looks good. Beer in the glass light golden, small head. Starts mild, malty, some sweetish-wheaty hints. Shy bitter background. Finish well balanced, again soft sweetish malty. Not bad.

Big thank you to kappldav123 for this very unsual 0,75 l bottle. BB 26.07.25. Cloudy pale copper with a more than one finger white foamy head in the glass. Looks good. Sweet malty aroma, caramel and nuts. Taste is more on the caramel side, sweet malt light fruity with little bit alcoholic sharpness in the background. Bitterhop in the second part and aftertaste. Not bad.

75cl bottle from the brewery. Looks good. But strange bottle format. Beer in the glass deep golden, nice small head. Spicy-malty aroma. Starts intense malty, spicy, herbal notes as well. Mild bitterness. Shy alcoholic touch. Finish more balanced. Again spicy-malty. Quite drinkable. Not bad!

Bottle at home, courtesy of Koelschtrinker, thanks a lot! Pours dark copper with a quickly dissipating off-white head. Nose is caramel and biscuits, light pine and herbs. Taste is a massive malty backbone and some resinous hops on top of it. Closes with a malty, caramely finish, has a medium to big body and soft to average carbonation. Tasty malt-forward beer.
