Description
The Brewery Michael Plank was established in 1617. It is a small, family owned business that is now under the direction of the 16th generation Michael Plank.
The current Michael Plank is now the brewmaster and is credited with honing the traditional recipes to their current levels which have led to the company being named as the "Best Small Brewery in the World" at the 2006 & 2012 World Beer Cup! That makes Plank the only brewery to have been awarded this World Beer Cup....twice.

Bottle, no recollection from where, drunk after doing some tile extension in the kitchen where the old house wall used to be. Well deserved. Quite clear light gold, big head. Light citrus nose with mild grain notes. Slim body with bare hints of malt sweetness, nice bitterness level and character, big carb. Nice helles!
