Description
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.

Zlotta (9960) reviewed Union Jubiläumsbier from Brauerei Brinkhoff 8 years ago
Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 5 | Flavor - 5 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 6

Sampled from 0.33 l bottle from 'REWE Homberg', best before October 2018. Clear, golden amber with a medium large, frothy, almost stable, white head. Sweetish, slightly grassy-spicy aroma of grains, some straw and traces of honey. Moderately sweet, minimally bitter, slightly grassy-spicy taste of grains, some straw and a touch of honey, followed by a short, moderately bitter, slightly grassy-spicy finish. Almost medium-bodied, smooth and just slightly effervescent mouthfeel, very soft carbonation. Quite tame and simple but also easily drinkable, nothing wrong with it.
