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. Thanks pivnizub. Dark amber, brown head. Nice honeyish sweet roasted nose - like chocolate roasted nots, light hop aromatics. Chocolate and roast on the forefront, sweet but not cloying, nice subdued hop balance. Medium body, sparkly mouthfeel. Flowery retronasal. Nice - I seem to have gotten one of the good bottles :-)
