Description
In 1449, Urbar von Wallsee first mentioned a brewery in Hofstetten. This is the oldest record we have of a brewery at this location, and it is a date that has granted us a place in the Guinness Book of Records as the Oldest Brewery in Austria. The tavern/brewery has been in the hands of the Krammer Family since 1847. Now in our fifth generation, we still proudly combine hops and malt daily to make the beautiful product of beer.

Dunkler Bock mit 7,3 % Alk und 17,8 % Stammwürze. Nicht direkt ein Weizenbock, da mehr Gersten- als Weizenmalz enthalten ist. Auch die geringe Schaumentwicklung spricht nicht für ein Weißbier. Ganz besonders macht das Bier, dass der Sud in alten Steintrögen mit heißen Steinen karamelisiert wird und die Kühlung nur durch die Kälte des Winters erfolgt. Die Brauerei Hofstetten stellt viele, sogar noch exotischere Biere her und ist in Österreich auch nicht an das bayerische Reinheitsgebot gebunden. Schöne dunkle Farbe. Geruch: Etwas Traube und pures Karamalz. Auch geschmacklich herrscht Karamalz vor. Eher süß, nur leicht herb. Spuren von Kaffee, dunkler Schokolade und schwerem Rotwein. Zusätzlich spielen deutliche röstige und rauchige Noten mit rein (wir erinnern uns: Die heißen Steine). Sehr schön weich. Gute Substanz und trotzdem süffig. Den hohen Alkoholgehalt merkt man nicht. Gut.
