Description
The first documented existence of a brewery on the location of today's Kneitinger at Arnulfsplatz was recorded more than 400 years ago. After many changes of ownership, in 1861 Johann Kneitinger I came into the possession of the brewery via marriage, together with the already existing Sommerkeller at Galgenberg. The skilled master brewer was the first to develop our strong Bockbier, with great success. After his death, his son Johann Kneitinger II refined the beer recipes even more. He also opened the restaurant at Arnulfsplatz, today known as the "mother house". Then, in the third generation, Johann Kneitinger III continued to manage the traditional company together with his wife Sofie. He died in 1975, and Sofie was his sole heir. While she was still living, she founded the "Hans und Sofie Kneitinger-Stiftung" in 1985. She died in 1991 and since then, the foundation has been the owner and operator of the Johann Kneitinger Brewery.

A nice beer that was also easy to drink which is good because the serving size was 1 litre.

Bottle(Dank nach Garching!): Deep golden, stable white foamy layer, grainy and perhaps bready nose (oxydation like in a czech brew?), hops detectable; light to moderate bitter-sweet flavour, light bodied; slightly lingering hoppy-grainy finish. Not great, but decent…

Bottle looks simple but good. Beer in the glass dark, almost black, small nice head. Maly aroma. Starts strong, fine malty-roasty, modest dry. Interesting earthy notes, some coffee. Finish still strong-malty, warming aftertaste. Tastes almost like a doppelbock. Really nice!
