Established in 1536
Als Begründer der Braustätte gilt nach einer Urkunde aus dem Jahr 1536 der Büttner Linhard Großkopf, dessen Familie zu dieser Zeit noch mehrere weitere Braustätten am Steinweg besitzt. Der Name „Spezial“ taucht erstmals in Verbindung mit dem ehemaligen Besitzer Nikolas Delscher auf, der „Spicial genannt, eyn Bräuer und auch Büttner gewesten ist“. Er betreibt die Brauereigaststätte von 1631 bis zu seinem Tod im Jahr 1664. Seit 1898 ist die Brauerei Spezial im Besitz der Familie Merz. Der Braumeister Christian Merz führt das Unternehmen also bereits in der 4. Generation.

Med body, med carbo. Med sweet, med bitter, very good intricate balance. Med caramelly, toasted bready, light fruity, and shitloafs of smoked ham. Honestly overall similar to Schlenk Marzen, very nicely balanced, rich, flavourful. Easy drinking too. Great

On tap at Spezial, pours a clear dark amber with a medium beige head. Nose is full of beautiful campfire smoke, bready caramel malt, and a touch of brown sugar. Flavour is full-on campfire smoke and bready caramel malt, with a much fuller body than the smoked lager. Clean, assertive, and satisfying. Excellent.

Bottle at Spezial Keller, pours a hazy dark copper with a large white head. Aroma has a lot of clove, caramelized banana peel, and bready notes. Flavour is very similar, with tons of caramelized banana peel, a touch of clove, bready malt, and more sweet caramelized banana to finish. Different than typical hefs with all that caramelized banana and more residual sweetness. Good but still ain’t my style.

On tap at Brauerei Spezial, pours a cloudy golden with a small white head. Aroma has soft bready malt, straw, and a hint of grass. Flavour is extremely clean, with bright grassy hop bitterness, straw, and toasted bready malt. Immensely drinkable, well-hopped, and super clean. Excellent.

Ein sehr harmonisches und ausgeglichenes Rauchbier, deutliche aber vergleichsweise milde Raucharomatik, malzig, vollmundig, süffig. Top.

On tap at Bierproeflokaal in De Wildeman. Pours clear blonde with a white head. Very herbal and peppery nose. Flavour has stale crackers, old dry grass, a bit peppery and herbal. Not particularly good.
