About
In Mönchengladbach-Waldhausen, genau auf der Quelle des Gladbachs steht das ehemalige Sudhaus der Brauerei Gebrüder Hensen. Gegründet im Jahre 1793 wurden bis in die 70er Jahre an gleicher Stelle die Biere der traditionsreichen Brauerei Gebrüder Hensen gebraut.
Dem allgemeinen Brauereisterben in Deutschland geschuldet, stellte man die Produktion Mitte der 70er Jahre ein.
Anfang 2015 erkannten wir, dass der Stadt Mönchengladbach ein neues Bier gutstehen würde.
Schnell fassten wir den Entschluss dies zu ändern: Das Projekt Hensen Brauerei war geboren.

0.33 l bottle from 'Brauart', best before February 2026. Almost clear, golden yellow with a thin, frothy, slowly diminishing, white head. Sweetish, slightly floral aroma of grains, some honey and light straw. Slightly sweet, moderately bitter, a bit floral taste of grains, straw and light honey, followed by a short, moderately bitter finish. Thin to medium body, gently effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Okay.
