Description
History: Giesinger started as a garage brewery in Munich-Birkenau in 2006. In 2007, 300 hectoliters of beer were produced and sold in Birkenau. In 2009 we already produced an impressive 750 hectoliters of beer in our small backyard brewery. When we finally reached the magic limit of 1,000 hectoliters for the first time in 2011, the premises in Birkenau were completely exhausted. A new location was needed and found in the neighbourhood of Munich-Giesing. The new brewery opened in 2012 and continued to grow, therefore a second facility was opened in 2018.
Suddenly "big" entrepreneur: Today we have 20 fermentation and storage tanks in our brewery. Giesinger became Munich's second largest private brewery almost overnight: With our current brewing plant, we can produce up to 12,000 hectoliters of beer per year, and after the opening of the second brewery even more.

330 ml bottle. Golden, medium hazy body, with a big, creamy, white head.
Aroma of hay, cereals, flowers, grass, pine, some herbs, some bread. Tastes similar, a bit more bready.
A bit creamy mouthfeel, with a quite lively carbonation. Finishes crisp, medium bitter, cerealic, floral, grassy, herbal, bready, slightly piney.
Really quaffable, rustic style example, with quite some complexity and quite a lot of hops. Really decent!

330 ml bottle. Golden, medium hazy body, with a big, creamy, white head.
Aroma of fresh herbs, flowers, grass, citrus, some pine. Tastes similar.
Medium mouthfeel, with an average carbonation. Finishes bitter, dry, herbal, floral, citric, with lingering pine.
Super crisp and aromatic with beautiful, spicy hop notes and just enough malt body. This was a pleasant surprise, exactly my kind of Pils!
