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. Nose is grainy, cereal, caramel, slight fruitiness dough. Taste is cereal, fruity, straw and leading to a touch of honey light green hop note in the finish. This is subtle and grew on me significantly as I drank.

Bottle at BrewDog Frankfurt. Hazy amber color, average sized white head. Aroma and flavor are malts, hops, caramalts, lingering bitterness, mostly malty bitters. Mwah, too malty for me tbh.

Tap at Naiv, Frankfurt. Chrystal clear golden color, white head. Aroma and flavor are malts, straw, grainy a bit and malty / grainy bitter. Again I'm thinking they swapped the order of the beers but im not sure so I'll have to believe them. Anyway, this is nothing special imo. Tastes more like a pils though imo so if they swapped it, this rating is for Faust Pils 😂🤦‍♂️
