About
In the country side, on the banks of Tauber river and directly on "Romantische Straße" ("Romantic Road") there is a small village called Distelhausen, a district of Tauberbischofsheim. As the name suggests, "Distelhäuser Brauerei" (brewery of Distelhausen) is situated here; it is one of the medium-sized breweries in the German beer sector. The brewery was founded in 1811 as Brewery Womann and in 1876 acquired by Ernst Bauer. The brewery is owned by the Bauer family since that year.
In Distelhausen, 23 different kinds of beer are currently produced according to traditional regional brewages. Due to the long-lasting and trustful co-operation with domestic business partners and gastronomy and because of the tight coupling with regional suppliers from agriculture, industry and services, "Distelhäuser Brauerei" considerably supports regional economy in Franconia of Tauber River since the raw materials used are traditionally mainly from the region.
The brewery is a founding member of the Die Freien Brauer (Independent Brewers) initiative, an association of medium-sized private breweries in Germany and Austria. As early as 1956 the brewery involved its staff in various forms in the profits.

Da ich mich nicht traute, ein Kalea-Bierpaket 📦 mit alkoholfreien Bier zu verschenken 🎁, trinke ich es selbst. Dies auf einer Fahrt zu einer Geburtstagsfeier in Retz im Zug.
Es ist ein hopfiges 🪴 Bier mit einem halbwegs vollen Körper und schönen grasigen 🌿 Hopfennoten mit einem getreidigen Abgang. Echt nicht übel.

In der Nase fruchtig nach Mandarine und etwas Mango, schöne Säure, dezent hefig und cremig-sahnig. Im Geschmack sehr ausgeglichen, fruchtig, spritzig, sehr angenehme Hopfennoten im Abgang.
