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.

Keg at Zum Fransizkaner, Stockholm. Gorgeous deep smoked smell, a bit like stale cigarette smoke but in a nice way. Mahogany colour. Deep Amber lager taste with decent bitterness. Decent. Remaining easy to drink.

From the barrel (själrvrunnet) at Zum Fransizkaner. Gentle smoke aroma. Bright gold colour. Creamy taste with light smoke malt. Sticky. Prefer the keg version which is probably heresy. Still delicious though.

Tap at HopDog. Dark copper chestnut. Light smoke. Soft, light, roasted, smoke. This is so soft and light. All beer should be like this.

Very nice classic. Lighter and less of everything that schlenkerla, but perfect in the watered down version. Wildeman ams

Tap at HopDog's anniversary party, and HUGE thanks SinH4 and Jonas for pointing out it's the unfiltered version - it doesn't flaunt it, just a side-note - and yet, it's so important. Hazy chestnut body, off-white head. Strong, pungent leathery-smokey aroma with a fair dose of pleasant caramelly/nutty maltiness. Soft, smooth taste, nutty maltiness, bit caramelly, light leathery notes and smoke in superb balance taste-wise. Enticing and drinkable despite almost no bitterness. Subtle, balanced in a way, and just, simply put, lovely!
