Impression: Schwind Bräu Headbanger Hopfen is a golden example a lager in the Craft Beer inspired style. It has a creamy, white, rocky head and hoppy nose. The balanced palate is hoppy and fairly dry. The lingering finish is semi-dry and semi-bitter. This is a collaboration brew between Schwind Bräu and another small local Craft Brewery called Headbanger. It was likely brewed with the onsite small kit used for experimental beers.

I'm an American living in Munich and Bamberg. Why? Well, I came for the beer but stayed for the girl. I'm very happily married to a German woman. Of course, the bonus of great beer certainly doesn't hurt. An avid love of hiking and finding new beers has led me to found Beerwanderers, an information resource on beer hiking trails in Franconia with an emphasis on Franconian food specialties and the endless variety of amazing beer the region is renowned for. I also published my first book Beer Hiking Bavaria which features 50 beer hikes in Bavaria and lead beer hiking experiences for those who love beer & nature.

    1. It’s funny, I hadn’t thought about the head implications of their name. Many love their metal here so I thought more of that. American Craft Beer is more influential here than you might guess, at least with young people.
