About
In 1857 the Zwickau brewery association (Brauverein) was founded, the brewery opened two years later. In 1889 the Zwickau brewery association was converted into a stock corporation (AG). In 1946 it became a a state-owned company (VEB). In 1990 the Mauritius Brewery was founded and in the same year it became a subsidiary of the Dinkelacker brewery group. In 2004 Dinkelacker became part of InBev. In 2005 the Mauritius brewery was purchased by its management, and thus releasing it from the Inbev brewery group, to become a Privatbrauerei. Finally in 2018 the Mauritius brewery was sold to the current owner Jörg Dierig, as managing partner, and Dinkelacker-Schwaben Bräu GmbH.

Down-to-earthness, loyalty to the region, a lot of love for beer and the art of brewing - that's what the Mauritius private brewery Zwickau stands for. We work closely with the people of our region to preserve traditions, but at the same time to actively work on the future of our homeland. Our slogan sums it up:
"Zwickauer Mauritius. A sip of home." (''home'' is of course Heimat in German).

5.9/10 — Appearance 2 Aroma 6 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
50cl bottle from Bierzwerg. Poured clear golden/amber with a very thin white head. Caramel, alcohol and fruits in aroma. Flavor has some fruityness and herbal notes together with some caramel malt. Quite strong alcohol in finish. Despite the alcohol, quite drinkable bock, not at all sticky/heavy as many other in this style.

6.8/10 — Appearance 10 Aroma 6 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 6
Bottle from Maruhn, Darmstadt
Dark mahogany color with red shades; generous, compact head. The aroma is somehow disappointing, with corn, paper, some caramel. The body is just a bit stronger than a regular Lager, not much Bock; there is a quite strong caramel flavor, but with a dryish feeling; also, some chestnut honey flavor; but in general, no sweetness; some mildly roasted nuts, and a late light touch of liquorice. The bitterness is medium-low, coming from the caramelized sugars. Very average.

Bottle: Pale greenish-golden, a light haze visible, stable small white foamy layer;; bitter-sweet hayish-grainy nose; not too dry bitter-sweet flavour, pretty light bodied, but pretty soft as well; slightly lingering hayish-grassy hops in the bitter and pale-malty finish. Not bad....
