Description
Das Vierzehnheiliger Bier wird bereits seit 1803 hier oberhalb der Wallfahrtskirche Vierzehnheiligen gebraut – ein „Nothelfer“ im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes. Denn wenn die vielen Pilger oberhalb der Kirche aus dem Wald kommen, begeben sich nur die wenigsten sofort in die Kirche, sondern stärken sich zuvor lieber bei einem Seidla und einer hausgemachten Brotzeit.

Seit 1803 lässt sich eine ''Alte“ Klosterbrauerei Vierzehnheiligen nachweisen, die neben der Basilika Vierzehnheiligen betrieben wurde. Von 1839 bis 1879 bestand die Brauerei als Franziskaner-Convent-Bierbrauerei. Später wurde sie von der Familie Martin geführt und als Sternbräu Vierzehnheiligen bezeichnet und nach 1950 in Brauerei Martin umbenannt. 1989 wurde die Brauerei von der Familie Trunk übernommen und modernisiert and als Brauerei Trunk weitergeführt.

Many thanks for this Bio-Weizen beer to kevnic2008. Piwo jest absolutnie mega swietne. Wyglad to blotnista metnosc, jakby piasek w wodzie, kolor silnie skoncentrowanego soku z Pigwy. W smaku pigwa, mus bananowo-morelowy. Cudownie owocowy. Pszenne pieczywo, pachnace gruszkami i gozdzikami. Piana spora choc srednio trwala. Nie czesto spotyka sie tak metne piwo. Wygladalo jak kawa cappucino. Polecam

Lahev: Ruby-amber coloured, clear, smaller - but stable off-white head; sweet toasty nose, including dried fruits and chocolate; moderate sweet flavour, mildly balanced by a delicate bitterness, medium bodied, quite soft; slightly increasing bitterness in the all in all sweet nutty and caramelly finish. Good franconian quality…

(bottle) Clear, mahogany colour with a beige medium-sized foamy head. Moderately roasty malty aroma with notes of bread crusts, a heavy load of caramel and a delicately touch of hoppy spice in the background. Moderately sweet, as well as mildly hoppy and roasty bitter flavour, medium to full bodied with a well-carbonated mouthfeel. Roasty malt-character in combination with caramel, crusty bready notes and a tinge of chocolate; moderately sweet malt-accented finish with a balancing level of hoppy and roasty bitterness. Fairly good and quite Franconian. 03.III.15
