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

Wässriger, weitestgehend geschmacksloser Antrunk. Im Mittelteil setzt die typische sehr starke und trockene Bitterkeit ein, die hier Zitrusnoten beinhaltet. Kernig, minimal getreidig. Schlecht! 8/3/6/4/8/4
