Description
In 1861 the 25-years old Heinrich Schneider decided to found a brewery on the “Grün’schen Hof” in Hachenburg. The Hachenburger brewery soon became the most important family brewery within the region. With business leader and co-owner Jens Geimer the family-owned company has reached the fifth generation and is still entirely independent.

Key to the success is that the beer is consistently cooled, the precious beer has achieved its special aroma over and over again for 150 years. What was true then is still true today: the long and cold ageing process is a fundamental requirement for a real Hachenburger as well as the use of high-grade raw materials. As well as the natural spring water from the Rothbach valley

0,33 l bottle from Dehlwisch, Lohne/Oldb. Pours out clear dark, lively carbonation, one finger white frothy head. Smells low grassy. Tastes also grassy at the start, low malty, low bitterness. Metallic hints. Easy drinking standard Helles. Not bad but also nothing special.

0,33 l swing top bottle from Dehlwisch, Lohne/Oldb. A lot of pressure in the bottle. Looks good bit it´s not really black, more a very dark clear copper. One finger pale beige head. Not a lot on the nose. Taste is low malty, little bit metallic. Thin texture. Nothing I would remember after the next beer.

Great chocolate cherry beginning. Nice combination of malt and fruit. Easy to drink and still deep. Fresh fruity chocolate malt with hints of fruity cherries and hints of wood. Moderate bitterness, very smooth and great round. Fascinating!!
