Description
Since 1663 the brewing trade has remained in direct family hands. The fathers always passed the art of brewing beer on to their sons. And that's still the case today! All the Georgs, Johanns and Leonhards brewed their beer here in Pahres with fresh water from the same brewery's own well. In the past also with self-grown Aischgründer hops.

The Hofmann brewery has grown to its present size under the leadership of Georg Hofmann and delivers its beer within a radius of up to 60 km from the brewery chimney. Since 1990 responsibility has been in the hands of Georg Hofmann.

Bottle picked up from Sedats Schlüggla Getrankemarkt, Schwaig bei Nürnberg on the way back home after Maifield Derby Music Festival yesterday. Had this Tuesday 3rd June 2025. Pours hazy gold with a large white head that swiftly departed. Soft mouthfeel, taste is quite rich, malty with a biscuit touch, light hoppiness, pleasant bittersweet edge. Good but not amazing.

Helle gelbe Farbe, gute Trübung. Ordentlicher, altweißer Schaum. Frische und gekochte Früchte und ein Hauch süßes Malz in der Nase. Beim Trinken haben wir dann fast nur frische Früchte (Apfel, Zitronensaft- und schale, etwas Aprikose). Die Hefe spielt geschmacklich eine mindestens gleichberechtige Rolle. Trockene Getreidenoten und ein Hauch Sekt ergänzen das ganze. Bitternoten klar erkennbar, dürften aber zum Großteil von der Hefe kommen. Kohlensäure knapp über medium. Sehr süffig und hat trotzdem eine gute Dichte (hat immerhin 5,4 % Alk.). Das ist ein sehr schmackhaftes und erfrischendes Weizen. Ein Bier das Spaß macht.

Bottle 0,33 ltr: Clear golden coloured brew with an dry bitter taste with hints of lemon, also grassy aroma. Reminds me of the northern German Beck's but much better.

Bottle that we picked up from Sulzberger Bierhaus, Pfaffenhofen an der Ilm on Saturday. Drinking this Monday 16th December 2024 listening to Steve Lamaqs evening session on 6Music cooking Beef Carbonnade Pies with Potato Croquettes, Carrots and gravy. Pours clear dark amber with a fast disappearing white head. It's a touch boozier than I'd like but not harsh. Nice mouthfeel, smooth, sweet with molasses and a little dried fruit, perhaps date? Yeah fine but I was hoping for a bit better.

Tap at the Winterbauer-Keller I think. Full, clear golden body, off-white head. Herbal, caramelly, okayish aroma. Dry caramelly maltiness, herbal hoppy taste, bit light. Okay, tasty, not the best of notes, hah.
