In 1810, the Eibau brewery was established by the Zittau brewing community.
The location of Eibau was confirmed by King Friedrich August I (1806-1827 King of Saxony) as the first rural brewery in the Zittau area. Since then, beer has been brewed here in the heart of the Upper Lausitz.

"Eibauer Schwarzbier", Flasche von Getränke Hoffmann, Gallinchen (Cottbus), verkostet 10.6.2025 im Direktvergleich mit dem "Schwarzen Esel" aus Eisenach. - Tiefdunkles Kastanienrotbraun. - In der Nase schlankes aber solides Röstmalz, Espresso, Anklänge an Torf und mild hopfenwürzige Hintergrundhopfung. - Antrunk arg schlank, ja wäßrig röstmalzig mit entsprechend blasser Röstmalzigkeit, kaum Süße und nur matter Hopfenherbe. Stark rezent. Im Abgang kippt die Aromatik leicht ins Billige. - Wenig Substanz (nur 4,5 %) und zuviel Kohlensäure beeinträchtigen dieses Schwarzbier, das optisch wie olfaktorisch ganz solide wirkt und auch aromatisch weitgehend fehlerfrei ist.

500ml can from the Costco German Biergarten Collection. Poured into an old 'Leffe' chalice at my daughters in Laguna Hills on 12th April 2025. Nice ruby hue to the red body, wispy off-white head. Caramel malty nose and initial taste, slightly sweet front; calms down a little mid-sip but the hops are a second consideration in this Bock (as is normal). I enjoyed this and it's always a pleasure to get another Saxony tick when ever I can.

500ml can from the Costco German Biergarten Collection and drank in California on 11th April 2025. Clean light golden body, white head that soon turned to a wisp and collar. Dry and refreshing but lacking in any aroma or depth of flavour. Damp cardboard comes to mind as I sniff and sip it. The only beer I haven't actually liked from the 20 or so I've had from the box so far.
