Description
Hofmeister was re-vived in 2015 by co-founders, Richard Longhurst and Spencer Chambers. Now independently owned, Hofmeister Helles is brewed in the heart of Bavaria by a 4th generation family brewery, one of only four certified slow brewers in this historical brewing region.
This commitment to traditional Bavarian brewing means that Hofmeister complies with the 500 year old German Beer Purity Law, the ‘Reinheitsgebot’. This law, adopted in Bavaria in 1516, limits the Helles lager recipe to three ingredients: water, barley and hops.

Brings back memories, Follow The Bear! Clear bubbly gold with a bubbly white head and a grainy and fruity nose. Plenty fizzy, crisp and clean with grassy malt, some fruit sweetness and a dry, slightly bitter finish
