Spitalbrauerei Regensburg
Regional Brewery
in Regensburg,
Bavaria,
Germany 🇩🇪
Associated Venue: Spitalgarten
Established in 1226
Um 1271 braute man im Spital das Bier aus Gerste und Hafer, ging aber bereits im 14. Jahrhundert, zur Zeit Ludwigs des Bayern, zur alleinigen Verwendung von Gerste, Hopfen und Wasser über - so ist es aus den alten Schriften zu lesen.
Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts beriet das Aufsichtsgremium des Katharinenspitals, der Spitalrat, die Verlegung und Erweiterung der Spitalbrauerei. Das Spital erwarb den Schambeck´schen Keller in Steinweg sowie später noch zusätzlich zur Verlagerung von Brauhaus und Wirtschaft das Strasser´schen Bräuhaus in Stadtamhof mit dem zugehörigen Sommerbierkeller in Steinweg - der heutigen Spitalgaststätte "Spitalkeller".
Die komplette Verlegung der Brauerei wurde schlussendlich nicht durchgeführt; stattdessen erfolgte auf dem heutigen Gelände ein zusätzlicher Neubau. Eine kleine, alte, sture Brauerei an der Donau...

Slightly hazy straw colour. Great aroma - I didn’t know maibock could smell like this - fruity, fresh, loads of bread, herbal notes and light spice. Fantastically appetizing. Fresh, bready palate. Very approachable, with subtlety and style. Some spicy alcohol late. Good example.

Bottled. A golden beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet malty combined with notes of straw and hints of butter. The flavor is sweet with notes of fruit - especially peaches, but also a light note of alcohol. Nice body.

Bottle (purchased at the Spital): Golden coloured, medium-sized, white creamy with a good lace, solid, satisfying sweet-malty and sweet floral-citrousy hoppy nose; light to medium bodied, distinctive bitter-sweet flavour; lingering aromatic-hoppy plus sweet-malty finish with a harmonic bitter aftertaste. Great, excellent Pils, made by an unspectacular brewery........

Bottle (thanx to joss!): Pale golden, hazy, firm, creamy persistent head, strong citrus-fruity nose (lemons, oranges) with a very light touch of wheat and cloves; distinctive sweet flavour, light to medium bodied; mainly fruity finish (peaches and apples with a light acidity and nearly without any yeasty tartness. Sweet like a fruit cake, very approachable, but nevertheless a very moreish Weizen...........

(bottle) Hazy, dark brown colour with a massive, creamy beige coloured foam. Yeasty, sourish fruity nose of dark berries with toasted malt and a hoppy touch (initially slightly metallic). Bitter and slightly acidic flavour, light bodied with a moderately sparkling mouthfeel. Roast-malty and fruity taste with a light wheat-character and soft notes of caramel; slightly bitter and fruity finish with a present roasty and herbal hoppy touch.

(bottle) Cloudy, pale golden colour with a big and dense foamy white head. Yeasty, moderately sweet and sour fruity nose with an aromatic citrus (mandarins, oranges) touch. Sourish sweet flavour, light to medium bodied with a lively carbonated mouthfeel. Slightly yeasty, moderately wheaty and strong fruity taste, quite aromatic but also a bit one-dimensional; finishes fruity with a touch of peppery spice. Nice.
