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.

Bottle from House of Trembling Madness. Hazy gold with small white head. Aroma of bread, honey, dusty-floral hops. Decent lager malt complexity with biscuit, bread and cereals followed by a crisp finish with grassy hops with light floral and spice. Near medium bodied and prickly carbonation. Very good lager for the strength.

Pale yellow colour with thin head. Aroma of pale malt. Seems like there's some diacetyl in this one. Stinks a bit.

330ml bottle. Fantastic, opalescent, dark ruby colour with average, frothy, moderately lasting, minimally lacing, off-white head. Mellow malty, minimally spicy malty and fruity hoppy aroma, hints of rye spiciness, cherry, red berries. Taste is slightly dry, spicy and minimally bready malty and minimally fruity hoppy, hints of rye spiciness, a touch of red berries. Watery texture, smooth and soft, simultaneously slightly dry palate, medium to fine, dense, mildly prickly carbonation. Wonderful colour, nice nose, relatively simple and monotonous taste - not bad.
