About
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.

Hazy copper with a big white head. Aroma of citrus, jam and caramel. Sweetish, clean malty flavour with fruity notes.

Bottle from Malý/Velký. Golden body, white head. Malt-driven aroma, oxidation. Sweetish, grainy taste, some oxidation and maybe some simple herbal notes. Ends dry. Just okay, not in the greatest of shapes likely.

Reichenbrander Red Ale Anno 1874, Flasche von Hopfen & Malz, Berlin. - Dunkles Kupferrotgold, fast klar. - In der Nase sehr aromatischer exotischer Hopfen, herbe Zitrusfrucht, Tabak, Kiefernharz. - Antrunk tief toastmalzig und kräftig aber ein wenig hart hopfenherb: Grapefruit, Harz, dezentes Trockenobst. Die leichte Karamelsüße wird von der wuchtigen herbalen Hopfenherbe erschlagen. Durchschnittlich rezent. Langer bitterer Nachtrunk. - Solides Red Ale, kernig gehopft und nur dezent obergärig.
