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.

Bottled, thanks oh6gdx! Golden colour, lasting head. Fruity fairly sweet malt covered in a thin layer of grassy hops. Light-medium bodied with spritzy, rounded mouthfeel and fairly low bitterness. Easy going, run of the mill lager, as far as Franconian lagers go.

Bottled (BB 07/2009). Courtesy of austone, ty Erik. Clear golden-yellow color, small white head. Metallic malty aroma, some honeyish sweetness. Sweet malty flavor, a bit grainy and honeyish. Also papery, bottle could be more fresh. But not in the worst category of German pale lagers.
