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.

Very much flawed, but it tastes upstream, like it is old or oxidiZed or terrible tap lines. But I drank it from their own stall at Bierbose dresden

A nice fruity taste below the surface. Great body for the style, way underrated. 2018 bier advent

One of the weaker made beers in the style. I think they are trying too hard to force flavour into this style with the hops, which results in a harsh bitterness that dominates. 2018 advent kalendar.

Mikkeller DTLA tap: pours slightly misty gold with a white head. Aroma is grassy and bit lemonish. Taste is grassy and pretty bitter. Pretty good.

Owl farm, brooklyn tap: purchased as roter ritter, but it appears to be this beer. Pours amber with an off white head. Aroma is dirt and caramel. Slightly sweet and a sort of dry. Malty. Pretty good.
