Description
Stopped brewing in autmn 2023, beers brewed by owner Einbecker since then.

The current brewing factory in Peine has been associated with the name Härke since 1890. At that time Ernst Härke bought the former Rauls'sche brewery and gave it its name in 1907. The headquarters are located in a listed building right in the heart of Peine. Thanks to ongoing investments, the brewing site houses a state-of-the-art brewery. As always, it draws the water for production from its own deep well.

12th May 2017: two half-litre glasses (on tap) sat on a raised terrace in the afternoon sun in the little town of Witzenhausen while waiting for the Schinkel’s Brewpub to open. Clear and clean golden body, snow white head that sadly didn’t hang around. Crisp and hop first in the nose and taste, decent malty undertone which backed off a little to give a good, dry, hoppy finish. Refreshing in the sunshine, espeicially after escaping earlier from Colditz Castle.

Thanks to WillemsUrenkel for that one. Bottle looks really good. Beer in the glass zippy, huge head. Starts malty and spicy, light lemon notes. A bit soapy-metallically. Dry background. Mild bitterness. Finish could be more balanced. Okay.

0,33 l Steinie bottle. Amber coloured in the glass, okay, that´s what I expected. One finger light beige foamy head. Floral hopy on the nose. Unexpected. Taste starts fruity hopy, floral, pine, citrus, some sweetness. Nice. Really not boring. Thins out a little bit to the end.

0,5 l bottle. Unclear pale orange with an huge off white foamy head in the glass. Wheat, yeast, some citrus on the nose. Taste starts with a lot of wheat, thick mouthfeel, increasing citrus und banana in the second row. Caramell und a little bit dry to the end. Okay for a Hefewezen out of north Germany.
