Brauhaus Rügheim Spezial Lager
Brauhaus Rügheim Special Lager is a rich malty brew with a touch of apricot in the nose and palate and citrusy hops throughout. The lingering finish is semi-dry and slightly bitter. It is brewed by the small communal brewery in the village of Rügheim and was served on tap at their 4th Braufest in July 2024.

Hütt’n Hausbräu Rot
