Nuremberg was a noted beer town in the middle ages and Rotbier was king. It fell into disfavor when modern lagers took over but were revived in 1984 by the Hausbrauerei Altstadthof. Currently, there are five regularly brewed Rotbiers in town but which one is the best? Find out here.
Hübner Keller/Zwickel Pils is a dry fruity treat with citrus hops in both the nose and palate. Served from the barrel at Strawanza in Bamberg, it's moreishly lovely.
Dremel Dunkles Bockbier is a great richly malty Bock with a nose of caramel and roast. The finish is moreishly semi-dry.
Beck Bräu Pils is a clean balanced beer with some grain and a semi-dry finish
Beck Bräu Kellerbier is a serviceable Kellerbier with a malty if thin palate and fairly clean finish.
