Description
In 1894 the Obergärige Brauerei Heinrich Reissdorf was founded by Heinrich Reissdorf in the Cologne Severins neighbourhood. In 1923 the brewery started to brew bottom-fermented beers and it became the Privat-Brauerie Heinrich Reissdorf. Through the years it stayed in the family.

In 1996, the Privat-Brauerie Heinrich Reissdorf acquired today's company premises in the industrial area of Cologne-Rodenkirchen. With the new production facility, a brewery was created, which is equipped with the latest brewery technology and meets the highest quality standards.

Huge thanks to Erzengel for that one! Bottle looks simple but good. Beer in the glass with a nice small head. Starts mild, fine malty, light moldy touch. Mild bitterbess, some herbs, some raisins. Interesting. Finish well balanced, spicy-malty. Nice!

Tap at the brewhouse. Lovely glassware here. Hazed too. Looks like a wheat beer. Has a wheat beer character throughout actually. Yeasty. Lemony and herbal. Nice one although I liked it less than the missus who was very taken with it.
