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.

(bottle) Hayz, amber to copper colour with a beige and firm medium-sized foamy head. Slightly toasted malty aroma with notes of Blockmalz/caramel, very subtle hints of dried fruits, also a whiff of oxidation and herbal hoppy spice. Bitter-sweet flavour, light bodied with a moderate carbonation. Initially slim toast-malty taste with caramel, backed by delicately fruity and mildly herbal-spicy hops, lingering into the bitter-sweet and slightly fruity finish. Nice one. 22.VI.17

Extreme gusher! The beer is smooth and fresh. Quite watery with grainy hints. Not too deep, a bit too watery with no bitterness in the end.
