Free spirit beer culture is conquering the craft beer world with the salvation of old, long-forgotten beer styles. Sebastian reads himself into the matter until he has found out all the ingredients of the original recipe and the subtleties and secrets of the old brewing style. With this knowledge, he then ponders how the beer would be brewed these days and what ingredients would be used. He doesn't want to bring old camels out of grandma's handbag to the light of day, but rather to transport the beers of the past with skill and expertise into the present. His beers are therefore not just reproductions of old recipes, but rather modern new editions. With this concept, the brewery has made a good name for itself in the craft beer scene and attracted international attention.

Panda at home, thanks to the Graham Grumbo, 22/03/2026.
Murky brown topped with a tan cap that thins to the edge.
Nose is fruit cake mix, caramel, herb, hint of chocolate.
Taste comprises dried fruit rinds, lick of booze, spice, caramel, raw fruit.
Medium bodied with bite, fine carbonation, drying close with a spike of alcohol.
Okay sipper if a little raw and unrefined.

Süffiger, weich getreidig-säuerlicher Beginn. Spritzig, neben ber Säure taucht eine leichte Süße auf, sehr wenig rauchig, erfrischend. Zum Ende geringfügig herb, eher trocken, leicht ansteigende Säure. 9/10/9/9/7/9

On tap @ Ghetto Something. Aroma is grainy, yeasty, citrusy, spicy and a bit shitty. Pours cloudy dark golden color with thick creamy white head and nice lacing. Taste starts refreshing citrusy and yeasty, following is salty and funky with wormwood bitter finish. Medium body, slick texture and average carbonation in palate. Quaffable, although aroma is not very appealing…

Take this bottle from the drinks of the world, Geneva, drinking one of my last beer of this too hot 2022 year. On the train to Courgenay, classical pale ale, dry, fresh and herbal, dry malt, a bit yeasty, floral hop, not too bittee for an APA, good, 31.12.22

Bottle at the Munich Brewver Christmas gathering at Jonas's in Garching Friday 28th November 2025, in the company of Jonas and Ursula, this bottle is courtesy of Jonas & Ursula. Pours light/mid gold with a white fast disappearing head, zippy and tart, fresh, acidic but clean and buzzy. This is very nice, really zaps the tongue.
