About
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

Bottle, courtesy of KimJohansen. A clear, golden beer with a white head. Slightly unpleasant nose, but mostly pale malts and fruity hops. Dry, medium mouthfeel. The flavor is malty, slightly biscuit, with fruits and some hops giving bitterness. Bitter finish. A rather boring one. 100814

Bottle, 4.9%. Good refreshing aroma hop note. Clear golden colour. Small stable white head. The flavour has a bit of the same aroma hop as the aroma. A bit of chalk. Rather thin finish, though. Starts off OK, but unfortunately fades a bit away.

Bottle. Sweet creamy barley malt and grassy hops aroma. Golden yellow color with nice head. Slightly sweet milky barley malt and moderately bitter grassy hops. Medium body. Nice German pils - I would have liked a stronger malt flavor.
