Aischbüffel Eisbock

Eisbock is a subcategory of the classic bock beer and, according to popular legend in Franconia, goes back to a coincidence According to a popular story, a brewer's apprentice was tasked with cleaning up some barrels It was supposed to be a particularly cold night, so the apprentice was required to move the bock beer from the yard to the warm cellar Beer barrels are large and heavy, so the young man decided to do it, The next morning, the master brewer was horrified to discover that the beer in the barrels had frozen overnight In order to teach the lazy apprentice a lesson and prevent future missteps, the brewer decided that the careless lout should take a few good swigs of the supposedly spoiled beer The apprentice did as he was told However, the beer had not gone bad: The process of freezing had reduced the water content in the beer and created a higher percentage essence of bock

To this day, beer is deliberately frozen to achieve exactly this effect

The Rittmayer brewery uses its wonderfully balanced Aischbüffel for this purpose, refining it even further by freezing it The result is an exquisite beer for special moments
