Brauerei Friedel Hausbier

Brauerei Friedel Hausbier is exclusively brewed by Friedel for Der Zentbechhöfner Bierkeller.  It is a hop forward balanced brew with a nice underlying graininess which complements the spicy hops well. The finish is moreishly semi-dry and semi-bitter.

Rittmayer Maibock

Rittmayer Maibock is one of the drier Hellerbocks I've come across. The combination of rich malt and obvious hops is something I wish more breweries would attempt. This is my favorite of the Rittmayer line-up.
