About
The Dortmunder Union Brewery (DUB) was established in 1873, the first brewmaster was Fritz Brinkhoff (1848-1927), who worked 50 years for the brewery. In 1887, a failed brew was delivered to a customer in Aachen which was a huge success. The Dortmunder Export was born.

In 1994, the Union Brewery took over the Dortmund Ritter Brewery, established in 1889, and renamed itself the Dortmund Union Ritter Brewery. Production was relocated from the city center to the previous production facility of the Ritter brewery on the outskirts in Lütgendortmund. In 2002 the Union-Ritter-Brauerei was renamed the Brinkhoff Brewery, and in 2006 production was relocated to the Dortmunder Actien-Brauerei.

5.2/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 5 Texture 4 Overall 5
(on tap at Tom´s Sportbar, Holzwickede) Dark red-brown colour with a foamy tanned small head. Shy roastmalty aroma. Soft sweet and malty flavour and taste with caramel, but only light dry hopbitterness in the background and finish. Smooth and easy going Dunkel but it lacks definitely taste and character.

From the tap: Pale golden colour, medium fluffy white head........; all in all: bland, watery, thin bodied, no aroma! Who will be sad, when the brewery will be closed next year ?

Clear yellow colour with a foamy white head. Grassy hoppy notes with a hint of hemp. Medium carbonated slightly malty taste but thin and watery. Unbalanced bitter hoppy aftertaste. A drinkable but very profane Pilsener.

Stinknormales Pils. Soll heißen: Man kann es gut trinken. Aber das Spitzenpils ist es bei weitem nicht. Warum bloß alle so darauf abgehen...? Test vom 15.11.2004, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 11,9,8,8,11,8 - 8,60

A yellow beer with a white head. The aroma is malty and hoppy, while the flavor is flowery, but boring.

Slight herbal aroma. Pale golden, unstable head. Light grassy tastenotes. lightbodied. Tastes like one of those beers the breweries create for non-beerdrinkers.
