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

Short 0,33 l bottle from Erzengel. Thanks a lot! Clear golden with a more than one finger white head in the glass. Smooth grainy with a lot of caramel on the nose. Taste the same, little bit grassy, soft bitterness in the second part. Easy drinker as expected, nothing wrong.

Huge thanks to Erzengel for that one! Bottle looks simple but good. Beer in the glass with a small head. Sweetish-malty aroma. Starts mild, malty, modest dry. Some spicy notes. Sweetish background. Grainy-malty finish. Okay.
