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.

Dunkles Bockbier mit 16,9 % Stammwürze und 6,8 % Alk. Im Raum Ostbayern ein relativ bekanntes Bockbier, dass man nicht nur in Regensburg in Gaststätten und im gut sortiertem Fachhandel findet. Allerdings nur saisonal erhältlich. Tiefst dunkel rote Farbe. Süß malziger Geruch. Vollmalzig auch im Geschmack, etwas Traubensaft, leicht röstig bitter, ein Hauch von Kaffee. Das Bier hat eine schöne Schwere, bleibt aber trotzdem frisch und süffig. Sehr lobenswert, dass es das Bier sowohl in der 0,5, als auch in der 0,33 Liter Flasche erhältlich ist.

Bottle picked up from Appel Getränkemarkt, Moosburg and consumed at home Monday 17th May 2021 we are cooking Spätzle for tea tonight. Listening to Tom Ravenscroft covering for Steve Lamaq on 6Music. Pours warm gold with large imposing white head, excellent clarity. A little herbal on the nose, but this can also be detected in the mouth. Soft mouthfeel a little canteloupe melon, a touch of citrus and a waft of herbs. This has a light maltiness, a little restrained in terms of bitterness and bite, but good.

Bottle picked up from Edeka, Kelheim and consumed at home Tuesday 3rd November 2020 listening to Steve Lamaqs Evening Session on 6Music. Pours mid gold with a large white head, good clarity, nothing special, thin and lacking in both aroma and taste, a little metallic edge, it's just about ok.

Kneitinger Heller Hans, Flasche von Hausler, Burglengenfeld. - Auch der Kneitinger geht mit der Zeit und braut neuerdings für die Warmduscher unter den Biertrinkern, denen das vorzügliche Pils zu herb ist, ein Helles, freilich nicht ohne es mit neumodischem Aromahopfen (Hüll Melon) aufzupeppen. - Dunkel goldgelb, klar. - In der Nase sehr mildes helles Malz und blasse zitrusfruchtige Noten, Mandarine. - Antrunk schlank und elegant hellmalzig, ein wenig trocken, fein gerstig, ohne die dicke Süße vieler Hellen. Dezente zitrusfruchtig-hopfenwürzige Herbe, mediterrane Kräuter, getrocknete Orangenschale. Milder rezent, schlank. Im Abgang dezente aber elegante Herbe. - Ausgezeichnetes, individuelles Helles einer erstklassigen Brauerei, die jeder Biersorte das Beste abgewinnt. Aber jetzt bitte nicht auch noch ein Weizen!
