After some year being contract brewed by Stöckel in Hintergereuth, Glenk is once again brewing themselves. If this Pils is their best, it might have been better left as it was.
Tag: beer style schwarzbier
Altenberger Brauhaus Schwarzbier
Altenberger Brauhaus Schwarzbier is one gorgeous example of the style, nearly black with a rocky tan head and roasty nose. It’s both balanced and supremely dry with a light bitter roast that is surprisingly enticing. The lingering finish is again quite dry but not overly bitter. Worth the trip in itself.
Günther-Bräu Schwarzbier
Günther Bräu Schwarzbier is a balanced dark brew with a roasty nose and palate. The clean finish is just dry and bitter enough to make it moreish at 5.2%.
Becher-Bräu Jean Paul
Brewed to commemorate Bayreuth writer Jean Paul, this dark lager most closely resembles a Schwarzbier with its roasty palate and near black appearance.
Schlenkerla Erle (Schwarzbier) on tap
Schlenkerla's Erle is the renowned smoke beer brewery's stellar take on a Schwarzbier with a rich roasty palate featuring a light complex smoke imparted by smoking the malt over alder wood. Sessionable at 4.2%, it's a another winner from Bamberg's best brewery.

Roth Schwarzbier
Roth Schwarzbier is a gorgeous looking example of the style with a dry malty/roasty palate and clean, dry, semi-bitter finish.
Spessart Räuberchen Dunkel on tap
Spessart Specht Räuberchen Dunkel is a cross between a Schwarzbier and Czech Tmavy, with some light roast in the dryish palate and a lingering bittersweet finish.
Lippert Schlotfeger
Lippert Schlotfeger is the brewery's latest creation: a dry roasty Schwarzbier with a lingering semi-dry finish.
Zum Löwenbräu Schwarzer Löwe
Zum Löwenbräu Schwarzer Löwe is a good example of the roasty style with a semi-dry finish.
