Description
The Reichenbrand brewery has been brewing beer in the west of Chemnitz in the 5th generation since 1874.
Bergt Bräu from Reichenbrand, still a household name for many Chemnitz residents. Never completely gone, but gone for a moment. Not voluntarily, because in the GDR everything had to belong to everyone. With this, Bergt Bräu became Reichenbrander in the “80s” and “90s”. Since the fall of the Berlin Wall, Bergt Bräu has been back, at least in the trademark of the Reichenbrand brewery and thus on the labels again - albeit unnoticed by some. So in 2020 we thought it was time to start the Bergt Bräu revival in a new outfit.

Big thank you to kappldav123 for this 0,5 l bottle. Cloudy amber in the glass. One finger light beige head. Dry toasted malt on the nose, some bitter hop. Taste starts also dry light roasted malty, pale grainy, increasing orange fruity elements in the second part. Present mid bitterness. Not bad.
