Description
The Prince-Bishops of Fulda founded their own brewery in Motten over 500 years ago. The brewery only came into private hands in 1791, as a kind of privatization. Local farmer Johann Georg Will bought the brewery for an impressive 6,000 guilders and a success story began. In 1987 the brewery was taken over by the Hochstiftliche Brauhaus Fulda.
The Hochstiftliche Brauhaus in Bavaria can look back on a proud history of over 200 years. As a regional family brewery, we are firmly rooted in the region with its history and tradition. According to the motto "from the region - for the region" we face up to our corporate responsibility towards home.

Tap at Gasthof zum Biber. Clear chestnut. Roasted, malt, melanoidin, metallic. Creamy buttery, but it is backed by bitterness. I like metallic butter beer. This is metallic butter beer.

500ml bottle from our trip to Frankfurt. Nice deep autumnal amber colour with a large, pillowy off-white head. Nutty leafy tangents with a nestled Vienna malt sweetness. Fits the mood.

Bottle shared, purchased from yok-yok. Nicely balanced caramely bready biscuity notes are present both in aroma and taste, combined with slightly grassy, herbal hops and a moderate bitterness. I actually dig this pretty much.
