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.

(swing top bottle) Cloudy, golden colour with a short creamy white layer. Quite acidic and citrus-fruity nose with a grainy touch. Sweet flavour with a tinge of acidity, light to medium bodied with a flat carbonation. Slightly yeasty, grainy and fruity taste with a shy smoky touch in the sweet and slightly acidic finish.

Bottle, thanks Joss! Cloudy amber. The aroma has some alcohol, autolysis. Flavour hints at pears and plums and is accented towards the sweet. It seems to have some potential but doesn’t quite come together.

Bottle (thanks to joss!): Cloudy, light amber coloured, bigger, stable off-white head; moderate sweet-grainy nose with a distinctive touch of alcohol and some fruity undertones; solid sweet flavour, almost cloying, full bodied; sweet finish with burning alcohol and a light tartness. Unbalanced and sweet.........

(75cl bottle) Cloudy, orange colour with floaties and a fluffy slightly beige foamy head. Yeasty and sweet malty aroma with notes of apricots and vanilla. Sugary (unfermented) sweet flavour, grainy and subtle fruity taste, full bodied, sticky mouthfeel. Sweet malt-accented finish with acceptable but present notes of alcohol and a subtle note of apricot in the aftertaste. Not very balanced and sticky, somewhat unfinished brew (16.V.09).
