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...

(33cl bottle) Almost clear, golden colour with a medium-sized lacing foamy white head. It smells like a fresh Helles: moderately sweet, slightly bready malt aroma with notes of citrus and herbal hops. Medium-sweet, medium to full bodied with a smooth carbonation, chalky mouthfeel. Bready malty taste; sweet and slightly bitter, chalky finish. Decent stuff.

(bottle, also known as Spital Dultbier) Clear, pale golden colour with a short, but stable foamy white head. Moderately sweet and soft malt, slightly grainy nose with an aromatic citrousy fruitiness. Light bitter flavour, light to medium bodied with a crispy, almost fizzy carbonation. Malty and fruity (citrus) taste; slightly sweet malty and slightly chalky finish with a faint bitterness. Plain but clean and drinkable.

(33cl bottle) Clear, amber colour with a mid-sized off-white foamy head. Sweet and fruity malt aroma, mildly toasted with citrus and a soft hoppy touch. Aromatic and slightly toasted malty and nutty taste with citrus and liquorice and caramel; malt-accented finish with a rounded bitterness and a slightly woody hop-character. My favourite Spital brew.

(bottle) Clear, pale golden colour with a moderate, slowly lacing foamy white head. Slightly sweet, soft malty, aromatic herbal hop aroma with a pleasant citrus fruity touch. Light bitter flavour with a light salty impression, light to medium bodied, well-carbonated mouthfeel. Soft malty, herbal hoppy taste with subtle citrus fruity accents; dry, moderately bitter, slightly fruity and malty finish with an aromatic herbal, slightly flowery hops character. A good one.

(Bottle 33 cl) Courtesy of MoritzF. Slightly hazy, pale golden with a white head. Distinct maltiness in the aroma. Rather full-bodied with a solid malt base and a very warming alcohol. 180907

Blond color. If it was not for some more sweetness, I couldn’t tell from a normal Pale Lager; and I’m not impressed by higher alcohol content. Maybe I don’t like Heller Bocks...
