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.

Pours slightly hazed blonde. Small white head. Scent is full, a warm embrace of hops over a dense maltbase ( bready) taste is very full, intense bready. Hints of smoked. I hate smoked , but at this rate its not only tolerable, its even of added value. Truly unique , and i appreciate it very much. Fruity, medium hoppy, nice and intense maltbase. Exceptional !

Bottle. Red chestnut color, with small head. Aroma is smoked ham, bready. Taste is sweet, roasted malts, smoke. Low carbonation, lighter body than Schlenkerla, but very fulfilling, very enjoyable at every sip.

Tap at HopDog. Unclear golden color with white-ish head. Aroma is big smoke, yeast, not quite as intense as the unfiltered Schlenkerla Märzen is, but distinctly different from the filtered version. Taste is yeasty, bready, more smoke than the filtered version, but also a different smoke. More moreishness, more sweetness, less minerals than the filtered version. Medium to high carbonation. Pretty smooth!

Tap at HopDog, probably had it before here without distinguishing it fro bottles. Light hazy, copper to brown, tan cream. Deep broad pleasant smoke, berries, pine, juicy malt, chewy, light juicy malt, a good wallop of hops, juuust hiding behind smoke and roast.
