Description
The Schlossbrauerei Ellingen with its fine beer specialties has been around since 1690. Experience a piece of our long-standing brewing history with every sip. What makes our beers so unique? FÜRST CARL beers are still brewed by hand in the traditional way in the copper brewhouse of the historic brewery. Our raw materials are natural and come from Ellingen and the region: water from our own well, hops and malt from Ellingen and Franconia. We only brew what we are good at: Franconian beer specialties!

Our family, the princes of Wrede and the team of FÜRST CARL stand behind what we do: first-class beers.

(Pils Unfiltered - from the Costco/Kalea Advent calendar - I'm not good with waiting). Lemon, biscuit malt, and grass aroma. Cloudy pale yellow with nice white head. Lightly sweet lemon, biscuit malt, and moderately bitter grass flavor. Okay body. Not too bad and not oxidized yet so that's always a bonus (one of the main reasons not to wait until December to drink).

Aber Caaaaaaaarl, das schmeckt grausam. Auch wenn man das absurde Video mit dem Lamas mit Hüten nicht kennt, passt der Spruch gut. Es ist ein primitives, brutales Industrie-Pils ohne Aromen und Liebe. Recht einfach trinkbar, aber keine Freude.
