Einbecker Brauhaus

Papenstrabe 4-7, Einbeck, 37574, Germany

Brewery Description:

The oldest still existing document to prove the sale of Einbecker beer dates back to April 23, 1378. During the 14th and 15th centuries, every citizen in the town of Einbeck had the right to brew beer and by 1616 there were 742 citizens that owned brew houses, and the first bock-style beer in the world was brewed in the town of Einbeck. In 1749, the town of Einbeck combined all brewing rights and the Einbecker brauhaus was created. And in 1851, the first beer to be filled in bottles in the Einbecker steam beer brewery. And from the beginning the “Original Einbecker Bottle” is used. The design of the bottle has not changed since then, and it has become one of the symbols of Einbecker Brauhaus.

Urbock Dunkel

Beer Collection

Keg Collection

The classic example of one of the great beer styles in the world of beer. Brewed according to its original recipe of 1378. Back in the 14th century the original Ur-Bock Dunkel was strong, malty in the aroma, and yet hoppy in the finish as it was designed to be sent long distances from Northern Germany to Scandinavia, Netherlands, and Italy fermenting out on their way. After primary fermentation of 10 days at between 45-50OF this classic bottom fermenting Bock Beer is matured for another six to ten weeks.

Brauerei Heller-Trum

Dominikanerstrasse 6, Bamberg, 96049, Germany

Brewery Description:

In the middle of the old part of Bamberg, directly underneath the cathedral is the Schlenkerla Brewery and Tavern. It was first mentioned in 1405, and now ran by the Trum family in the 6th generation. It is the origin of the Original Schlenkerla Smokebeer, a Bamberg Speciality.

Aecht Schlenkerla

Maerzen Style

Beer Collection

Keg Collection

Unpasteurized

Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier Maerzen, unpasteurized, is made entirely from smoked malt. Heller Trum is one of the very few breweries left in Germany that does its own malting. During germination of barley, the smoke of beech wood fire is “forced” through the germinating barley for a total of between twenty four hours and thirty six hours at varying temperatures. Therefore, Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier gains an unusual smoky dryness from this process. In contrast, the standard drying procedure for malt is to be heated in a kiln. The brew is mashed by double decoction, hopped once, bottom fermented and matured 7 weeks.

The Aecht Schlenkerla Weizen is brewed with the following ingredients: Water, 55 % wheat malt, 45 % barley malt, aroma hops and top-fermenting Bavarian style wheat beer yeast. Only the barley grain is smoked during the malting process while the wheat malt remains unsmoked [Theoretically the wheat grain could be exposed to the Original Schlenkerla smoke kilning process as well. The smokiness of the resulting wheat malt, though, would be almost insignificant as the wheat grain is not able to retain the smoky flavor due to its lack of spelt]. After fermentation in the fermentation cellar a precise amount of unfermented wort and original topfermenting yeast are added to induce secondary fermentation in bottles and kegs.

From Ash Wednesday through Easter Sunday 40 days of ‘fasting” have been practiced by the Christian community since the 2nd century. Since the Middle Ages, many monasteries throughout Europe have reinforced this spirit of “lenting” by brewing stronger versions of their lager beer (bocks & doppelbocks) to ‘survive” these demanding 40 days (“liquida non frangunt ieunum” ie liquid food does not break the rule of fasting).

To celebrate these very special 40 days of fasting Brewery Heller-Trum will introduce a very special unfiltered Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier FASTENBIER (“LENT BEER”), which will be only available from end of February through Easter Sunday.

Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier Oak Smoke

Beer Collection

Keg Collection

Following century-old recipes, all malts made at the Schlenkerla brewery are dried by wood fire. While for the classic “Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier” traditionally beech has been – and still is – used, the malt for Schlenkerla Oak Smoke is kilned with oak wood. The resulting Oak Smoke Malt has a smoother and more multilayered smoky note than the intensely aromatic Beech Smoke Malt. The hence complex smokiness in Schlenkerla Oak Smoke is paired with the multifaceted bitterness of finest Hallertau aroma hops. With 8% alcohol and Bernstein color, it matures for months in the deep brewery cellars underneath Bamberg into a special treat for smoke beer lovers for Christmas.

Privatbrauerei Heinrich Reissdorf

Emil-Hoffmann-Str. 4-10, Koln, 50996, Germany

Brewery Description:

The largest Kolsch brewery is Privat- Brauerei Heinrich Reissdorf & Co., established in 1894 in the center of Cologne by Heinrich Reissdorf. After his death in 1901, Reissdorf’s wife took over the brewery until 1908 when her five sons- Johann Hurbert, Heinrich, Hermann, Friedrich and Carl began managing her brewery. During WWII, the brewery along with Cologne was heavily bombed. Only one mash tun survived, and the brewery was rebuilt in 1945.

In 1998, construction began on a new, state-of-the-art, computer-controlled, stainless steel brewery on the outskirts of Cologne in an area named Rodenkirchen, where production occurs today.

Keg Collection

Unfiltered, Unpasteurized, Bottle Conditioned

The town of Cologne, the namesake for Koelsch, not only has more breweries than any other city in the world, but also has a federal law protecting its right to brew this pale, top-fermenting ale (appellation controlee). Koelsch , which has been brewed in Cologne and outlying areas since before 1300, furthermore has a brewers guild (founded in 1396) that mandates certain parameters for its brewing and protects the appellation worldwide.

Founded on October 4, 1894 by Heinrich Reissdorf and his wife Gertrud in the historic “Severinsviertel” of the city of Cologne the Reissdorf brewery has established itself as the pre-eminent brewery of the classic “Koelsch”. These days Reissdorf Koelsch has almost reached a “cult status” with beer connoisseurs around the

world looking at it as a “well preserved secret”. Top fermentation lasts for about eight days with another four weeks of cold conditioning following. “Reissdorf Koelsch” is designed to be pale of color, soft on the palate, restrained on fruitiness, with a delicate dryness in the finish.

“Reissdorf Koelsch” is a “session style” beer served in its typical 7 oz. glass in the wee-hours after work

The cleanness of the beer is a result of a fairly long, cold maturation of two to six weeks. There are both filtered and unfiltered (called Wiess) versions, some brewers employing wheat in the grist.

pick up as many as 12 beers at a time from the “Zappes” (the “tapper”) which fit in recesses around the perimeter of a metal tray (the “Kranz” or crown) with a central handle. Tabs are run by the Koebes making tick marks on the customers’ coasters and Koelsch keeps coming without asking! Koebes are seldom tipped, but will allow you to buy them a round which they usually finish in one swallow.

“Reissdorf is light, soft, and delicious”

- Michael Jackson

Bayrischer Bahnhof

Bayrischer Place 1, Leipzig, 04103, Germany

Brewery Description:

Bayrischer Bahnoff was once the starting point and terminal for one of Germany’s most important north to south routes, the Saxony-to-Bavaria Railroad. Over the years, Leipzig’s grander station has resulted in main routes being re-routed from the Bayerischer Bahnhof. Until recently, the railrod’s former offices, halls, and waiting rooms were defaced with graffiti. However, after approximately 14 months of construction, the Bayrischer Bahnhof opened its gates again on July 19th, 1999 as a hotel and Gosebrauerei. Ingrid Biedenkopf, Gattin of the Saxonian Prime Minister opened the doors to the hotel. It has become a beauitful landmark on the Leipziger landscape.

Leipziger Gose

Beer Collection

Keg Collection

Unfiltered, Unpasteurized, Bottle Conditioned

The beer style, gose, is documented in Lower Saxony, Germany as early as 1000 AD when that region was ruled by the Holy Roman Emperor Otto III . Although, gose is usually termed Leipziger Gose, it originates not in Leipzig, but in the small town of Goslar. Like producers of bock beers in Einbeck, the brewers of gose needed to look outside their own town to find large markets for their product. They found those in the trade towns of Halle and Leipzig, about one hundred miles east. By 1900 Leipzig boasted over eighty gose houses. Spread of the bottomfermenting pilsner style as well as the economic decline of East Germany, under communist regime, contributed to the demise of Leipziger Gose. It finally faded out

completely in the mid-1960s. Then, in Leipzig, on July 20, 2000, brewer Thomas Schneider revived the original Leipziger Gose style in the famous Bayerische Bahnhof. As well as housing the first gose brewery of the 21st century, the Bayerische Bahnhof is also the oldest operating train station in the world. Upon arriving there today and finding Leipziger Gose, passengers may believe that this train has not only taken them to Leipzig, but also back in time several hundred years.

Mr. Schneider’s Leipziger Gose is a top-fermenting wheat beer (60% wheat, 40% barley malt) with coriander and salt added during the boil. Leipziger Gose is unfiltered, unpasteurized , and bottle-conditioned. Coincidentally, it shares many stylistic qualities and brewing methods with the Gueuze of Belgium in addition to the almost identical sounds of their names.

Leipziger Gose Pineus

Gosebrauerei Bayrischer Bahnhof - Leipzig, Germany

Leipziger Gose filtered through PINE NEEDLES!!!

Very common historical way as in the old days a lot of beer was passed through pine needles/juniper to create the bitterness (prior to the popularity of hops).

The flavors of this beer is really interesting because there is tons of pine needle aroma in the nose and then on the palate followed by the traditional sourness/spiceness/saltiness of a Gose. This beer exemplies a very nice balance between the pineness and sourness.

Gose is a top fermented beer that originaled in Goslar, Germany. It is brewed with at least 50% of the grain bill being malted wheat. Dominant flavors in Gose include a lemon tartness, nerbal characteristic and a slight saltiness. The sourness of the gose is usually through inoculation with lactic acid bacteria after the boil. Gose belong to the same sour wheat beers as the Belgian Witbeer, Berliner Weisse and Gueuze. Since the mid 1980s - in Germany there are only three remaining “traditional” gose breweries with Bayerischer Bahnhof being one of the three.

Uerige Obergearige Hausbrauerei

Berger Stasse 1, Duesseldorf, 40213, Germany

Brewery Description:

Built in 1632 and converted to a brewpub in 1862, Uerige Brewery, named for the cranky owner, Wilhelm Cuerten, has established the Duesseldorfer interpretation of Altbier as the classic of the style. After the building was completely destroyed in World War II, the new owner, Rudi Arnold began reconstructing the brewpub in 1945. In 1949 he finished and in 1976 the Schnitzler family took over the company.

Altbier is Germany’s answer to the copper colored pale ales of England and the fruity/estery interpretations of ales in Belgium . Whereas most German brewers abandoned old brewing methods for the new cold fermented pilsner style in the 1800’s, the brewers in Düsseldorf continued with the old (alt) tradition of ale brewing at warmer temperatures. At around 4.5% alc./ vol, traditional Altbier shows a rm bitterness, medium body, and a malty avor with hints of caramel. Relative to the other beers of this style”

“Uerige...is the most assertive, complex, and characterful of the alts” (Michael Jackson, Pocket Guide to Beer, pg. 36).

“UERIGE …is the most assertive, complex and characterful of the Alts”

“Düsseldorfer Altbier is one of Germany’s great beer styles. Uerige Alt is in my view the finest example of the style, and one of Germany’s truly great beers. I love it for its big, spicy hop aroma; its firm, malty, middle; and its confidently dry, appetising, finish. No short cuts, no compromises: a beer that punches it weight.”

Of all German beers, UERIGE ALT has the highest content of bitter constituents. In spite of or maybe because of this, our legendary Altbier from Düsseldorf is full-bodied, aromatic, and agreeable.

This top-fermented specialty has been brewed since 1862, and is made of barley malt, caramel malt, roasted malt, umbel hops and water - plus of course our special UERIGE yeast.

Uerige “Doppel Sticke”

Beer Collection

Keg Collection

Created and designed by Uerige Obergaerige Hausbrauerei for their very special customers in the USA only!

Uerige DoppelSticke might just be “Germany’s interpretation of the classic barley-wine style “, ie a third definition next to England’s “maltdriven” concoction {such as JW Lees Vintage Harvest Ale} and America’s “hop-heavy” version {such as Sierra Nevada’s BigFoot}.

“As if this were not enough, Zum Uerige has in Doppel Sticke invented a new variation on

the style. The hop aroma is huge and herbal. The palate is rich, oily, enwrapping. The finish is full of restrained power. No alcohol burn, just a warm glow.”

Michael Jackson 2005, press release

“Delicious and bursting with character.”

Gruenhopfen-Sticke

Beer Collection

Keg Collection

Brewed with fresh, wet Hallertauer hop flowers right after hop harvest

“The Wet hop Sticke is quite good - it’s a bit paler than the Sticke thanks to a small amount of wheat malt added to the grist. Hersbrucker wet hops (which were recommended to him by his hop farmer) were used: almost 400 kilos per 60hL batch. Per Dr. Tenge, Hersbrucker is a nearly forgotten variety - he specifically did not want to use one of the new flavor hop varieties that German hop growers are cultivating because they are too dominant and tropical. The Hersbrucker wet hops provide a discernible, but pleasant hop flavor (herbaceous/grassy) that is not overt, but definitely noticeable. The regular Sticke has some aromatics of dried orange peel, cinnamon, anise, and mulled wine type spices - these are all less noticeable in the Wet Hop version.” by Graham Haverfield

Kaiser-Ludwig Platz 1, Ettal, 82488, Germany

Brewery Description:

Since 1330 the monastery “Kloster Ettal” has lived and worked in accordance with the Holy Rule of St.Benedict. The monastery’s own businesses - its brewery and distillery - have provided the funds to sustain its centuries old buildings , art treasures and educational facilities since 1609.

Klosterbrauerei Ettal is one of the very last remaining authentic German monastic breweries still operated and managed by its owners, the monks of the Holy Rule of St.Benedict.

Its award winning Kloster Ettaler Dunkel ranks among the most recognized specialties in the monastic brewing tradition.

Aroma The aroma immediately entices you with caramel, chestnut and fresh baked whole grain bread.

Flavor All the aromatics shine through on the palate, but there is more at play here. There is a lovely fruit note, a little plum, a hint of apple, and it is complimented with the perfect amount of earthy hop bitterness underneath it all.

Finish The finish is long without being overwhelming, leaving this liquid nearly impossible to get out of your mind. So drinkable, so memorable, so wonderful.

Professor Fritz Briem

Munich, Germany

Brewery Description:

Before larger beers became the mainstay of Germany production (18th and 19th century) two regions were well-known for their wheat beers: Berlin and Bavaria. The former has pretty much died out, and hefeweizens as we know them today are made in the Bavarian style. But Professor Fritz Briem, has re-created the Berlin style. The main difference is its learner, tart character, courtesy of lactic bacteria that are introduced at the same time as more traditional yeast.

1809

Beer Collection

Unfiltered, Unpasteurized, Bottle Conditioned

Huguenots may have originated the style as they traveled through France to Flanders, having first mentioned it in the 1600s. During their time, there were said to be seven hundred weissbier breweries in Berlin.

Later, in 1809, Napoleon and his troops identified Berliner Weisse as the Champagne of the North. He requested the beer be served w/syrup to cut its extreme level of acidity.

“1809” is a very traditional interpretation of the “Berliner Style” Weisse with an intense blend of lactic tartness and complex fruitiness. It is bottle-conditioned, unfiltered and unpasteurized. “1809” will age beautifully in a dark and cool location. Its complex fruitiness and tartness will most likely develop in quite astonishing ways.

“1809” is fermented in traditional open fermenters and horizontal lager tanks. The applied mashing regime is a single step decoction mash with 50 % wheat malt.The total amount of hops is added to the mash so that isomerisation takes place in the decocotion part of the mash. The wort is not boiled but only heated up to boiling temperature and then transferred to the open fermenters and pitched with yeast and lactic acid bacteria (isolated from malt) at 18°C (64°F).

“Brewed according to recipes dating back to before the German Purity Law in 1516”

Unfiltered, Unpasteurized, Bottle Conditioned

Before the German Reinheitsgebot, in 1516, beer was not explicitly brewed with water, malt, hops & yeast through In fact the Reinheitsgebot was as much a ban against certain substances & adjuncts as it was a government instruction to brewing beer. Until then it was common practice to use a variety of different spices & plants instead of hops to flavor and prolong the shelf life of the beer. Some of the adjuncts that were used even had anesthetic & toxic effects.

Grut beer has roots in many cultures and each culture had

its own “special ingredients”: Egyptians (Mandrake based), Native Americans (Corn based), Arabian Tribes, Gaulles, Germanic Tribes and the Vikings.

Grut beer became especially popular during the middle ages in Germany in the regions of Westphalia & Lower Saxony close to the borders of Belgium & Holland. During this time the ingredients for beer were very expensive, in particular hops.

This interpretation of a traditional Grut Bier is spiced with Lorbeer (Bay Leaves), Ingwer (Ginger), Kummel (Caraway), Anis (Anise), Rosemarin (Rosemarie) & Enzian (Gentian). It is brewed with water, wheat & barley malt, “pollinated wild hops” and fermented using top fermenting yeast.

St. GeorgenBräu

Marktstr. 12 | 96155 Buttenheim, Germany . Bavaria

Brewery Description:

As one of the oldest family breweries in Franconia, St. GeorgenBräu was founded in 1624 in Buttenheim in Franconia between Bamberg and Erlangen. Even today, their experienced brewmasters brew in a very traditional way according to old recipes and give their beers enough time to mature and train their taste, creating top-quality beer specialities. They believe that quality is simply tasted and so it is of course only the best raw materials to buy and use; their own spring water, aroma hops

underline their top quality.

Kellerbier

Beer Collection

Keg Collection

Around 1624 brewmasters boiled the original wort with an especially large amount of hops over an open fire. After cooling down, the wort flowed into the wooden fermentation vessels where bottom-fermenting yeast was added. After primary fermentation, Keller Bier was then taken to cellars carved deeply into the Bavarian rocks outside the village of Buttenheim using their natural coldness to mature Keller Bier. It then lagered in solid oak barrels “ungespundet” (unbunged) to let the carbon dioxide that develops during this maturation process escape. The Brewing process, the lagering cellars carved into the rocks near the village of Buttenheim and the beer garden on top of the lagering cellars are still the same as they were in 1624.

BUDIKE BERLINER WEISSE

Brauerei Lemke, Berlin, Germany

It was real detective work for Oliver Lemke, owner and bremaster of Brauerei Lemke, to revive the lost recipe of the traditional Berliner Weisse. He graduated at VLB

Berlin*** in “Brewing Engineering” and still has strong connections to the faculty. He constantly involves students in his numerous Berliner Weisse fermentation research projects. After two years of research and more than 100 test brews, Berlin got back it’s traditional Berliner Weisse with Historic Three Culture Fermentation.

His Berliner Weisse “Budike” {Berlin slang word derived from the French word for small pub/corner pub “La Boutique” }varieties are fruity, mildly sour, refreshing, balanced, complex and funky - and definitely without syrup!

He now brews with his team of 9 employees around 5,550 hl of mostly unique interpretations of the classic Bock Bier Style.

Kuebelbier

Beer Collection

Keg Collection

Unfiltered, Unpasteurized & Bottle Conditioned

Kuebelbier is brewed according to the historic beer style: Zwickelbier. Zwickelbier comes from the Franconia region in Germany and dates back beyond the Middle Ages. The name “Zwickelbier” stems from the sampling mug (”Zwickel” in German) mounted at the outside of the tank for assessing the brew’s progress during fermentation. The Zwickelbier style is an unfiltered lager beer (Bottom-fermenting) that traditionally is served as soon as fermentation is complete.

Kuebelbier is brewed as a pilsner and is then bottled directly from the cellars without any filtration allowing all the yeast and natural substances to enter the bottle. Unlike Kellerbier, the maturation casks of Zwickelbier are bunged (”gespundet in German) just before the end of the fermentation. This builds up effervescence in the brew. Our Kuebelbier is a very unique interpretation of this classic style to add robustness & character. It is quite hoppy at around 35 IBU and is 5.8% Alc./Vol..

The beer pours a cloudy orange-yellowish color with a nice white head. The unqiue attributes of the style come through on the palate as the flavors imparted by the yeast compliment the hop character and carbonation in the beer to create a unqiuely robust yet refreshing beer.

Hochzeitsbier von 1810

Spirits

Unfiltered/unpasteurized.

Our “Original Hochzeits bier von 1810” goes back to the Original “Maerzen-style beer” that was served in 1810. Relative to today’s “adjusted” Octoberfestbiers it is much darker in color, much stronger in alc/vol, and much more full-bodied!

Just the way beers were brewed around that time!

This beer is the end result of a lot of research by the head brewer at Hofstetten. We asked him to “throw out the rulebook” and the preconceived “definition” of Maerzen/Oktoberfestbier that Spaten set well after the royal wedding that established the tradition. His research of beers of 1810 (the year of the royal wedding commemorated by Oktoberfest) led him to this beer. I have translated from German the “broad strokes”:

“Indications of color seem contradictory, but original gravity is very clear: 14 degrees Plato, resulting in a be er of 6%. IBU’s should be around 21, using Spalter Select and Tradition, the latter of which is of Bavarian origin.

Further research on color of the “original Festbier” show values as low as 7 EBC but there is lots in the high 20’s EBC that was found. The debate was whether to go just a bit darker than the U.S.-version (of their) Kuebelbier, namely 1810 at 12 EBC’s of color, or up to the darkest Festbiers of the day at 32.5 EBC’s. One thing was for sure, that Munich malt needed to be the basis. Filters weren’t used widely in Bavaria until 1900 so the beer had to have been unfiltered”.

Granit Bock is brewed according to historic style “Stone Beer” (Stein Beer). Stone Beer is a unique style that comes from the Baden-Wurttenberg & Franconia regions of Germany and the Kaerten region in Austria, it dates back to the Middle Ages.

The Granit Bock is brewed in a large granite open troughs. The granite stones are then heated to be white hot and added to the wort. This casuses the sugars in the malt to caramelize around the stones and gives the beer lovely caramel and roasted flavors. It also gives the Granit Bock a unique smoked flavor.

Yeast is added about 1 hour after after the white hot rocks have been added to the wort, allowing for an open fermentation. The Granite Bock is then matured for several months on the cool cellars under the brewery.

Einbecker Ainpöckisch Heller Bock Unfiltered

Beer Collection Keg Collection

Ainpöckisch beer, mentioned in documents since 1378, is a completely natural, unfiltered Bock beer specialty from the town of Einbeck, home of the historic Bock beer style. Brewed according to traditional recipes with generous additions of hops. Left completely unfiltered.

In the 13th to the 15th century this style “Ainpöckisch bock beer” was very popular and distributed throughout the Hanseatic League, the merchant organisation founded by north German towns and German merchant communities abroad.

Einbecker “Historic Unfiltered Brauherren Pilsner”

Beer Collection

Keg Collection

It is a most unusual, one-of-a-kind edition of Einbecker Brauherren Pilsner . Completely unfiltered.

Directly transferred from the tank at Einbecker Brauhaus into our temperature controlled tank container

...and then into our own 30l + 50l kegs at Oxford CT, USA. Keg fitting: American Sankey, slim/ tall.

As you know all German lager brews were unfiltered before “the beer filter” was invented in the 1870s.

When the German engineer Carl Linde added the idea of a “cooling machine” {1870s} the door was opened for the “Pilsner” style.

The Einbecker “historic unfiltered Brauherren Pilsner” allows us to enjoy Einbecker Brauherren Pilsner at its highest level of flavors and aromas. A most unusual historic experience!
