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

02-10-18 // 330ml bottle bought at the brewery shop. Actually unrateable to our rules as its a mix of 40/60 beer to lemonade. Unclear yellow. More lemonade than beer. But a nice refreshing one.

11-07-18 // 330ml swingtop bottle from Getränkeland Ziegler. Clear black beer, small head. Slightly roasted malts in the nose. Taste is a light bodied pilsner with slightly roasted malt notes. Quite interesting but thats it, boring anyhow.

11-07-18 // 330ml bottle. Purchased at Getränkeland Ziegler. Clear golden, small white head. Not too bad for being alcoholfree, had worse ones. The off taste isnt too strong. Slight sweetness. Mild bitterness.

330ml bottle. Clear, yellow-ish, pale golden colour with average, thick, frothy to creamy, moderately lasting, minimally lacing, snow-white head. Mellow, pale malty, minimally grainy and slightly floral, minimally grassy-strawy, hoppy aroma, a weak touch of strawberry, some malt spiciness, hints of TUC crackers, a doughy yeasty touch. Taste is slightly malty spicy, minimally sweet, mildly bitter hoppy, minimally floral and fruity overtones with a strawberry and watermelon touch, hints of cracker again. Nothing spectacular, but it is nice to see a German Privatbrauerei taking some untypical paths.
