The year in which a company is founded is a special date - and when that date is an incredible 600 years ago, it's a real reason to celebrate! The Rittmayer brewery in Hallerndorf can trace its brewing history back to 1422, making it one of the oldest breweries in Franconia

In honor of the magical year 1422, the brewers have come up with a beer of the same name: 1422 is a stately Helles that delights with its unfiltered character and finest yeast The quaffable beer flows into the glass in a beautifully cloudy grain gold and completes its handsome appearance with a white crown of stable, medium-pored foam The nose is jubilant with aromas of fruity malt, grassy hops, sour citrus fruit and subtle caramel - A tantalizing blend, The inevitable first sip refreshes body and soul with a skillful balance of spicy grain and bitter hops With a silky texture, effervescent mouthfeel and mild carbonation, the beer presents itself on the palate and gives the taste buds an aromatic feast of creamy caramel, sun-ripened grain, fragrant straw and noble vanilla The hops underline the beer's enjoyment with a light-footed bitterness and elegant citrus notes
