Hütt’n Hausbräu Rot

This Rotbier is brewed by Rittmayer Hallerndorf and while not a world beater, it’s well made with a nice spicy element. It’s certainly better than a few of the Rotbiers in town and has a lingering semi-dry, semi-bitter finish.

Wagner Kupferstich Rotbier

Wagner Kupfterstich Rotbier is a textbook Red Beer aside from its lighter copper hue. It's rich toasted malt palate and nose are offset well with a light spicy caramel note and enough hops to dry it out nicely in the lingering finish.

Bierprinzessin Hassberg Rotbier

Bierprinzessin Hassberg Rotbier is an unfiltered amber beer which was brewed by the Hassberg Beer Princesses for the festival. It’s a lovely dry hoppy beer in the Craft Beer vein but retains a distinct Franconian flavor. This was on tap at the Genussfestival 2024 in Ebern.

Tucher Mautkeller Rotes Lagerbier unfiltriert

Tucher Mautkeller Rotes Lagerbier unfiltered is a primarily malty red lager brewed at Tucher's brewpub in the center of the city. Its finish is sticky and in my roundup of the town's Rotbiers, finished last.
