The small town of Forchheim is located halfway between the World Heritage Site of Bamberg and the metropolis of Nuremberg The town's coat of arms is adorned with two trout, as it was previously assumed that the town's name was based on the Old High German term for trout This is now outdated, but the coat of arms has remained Forchheim is located at the gateway to Franconian Switzerland and is surrounded by idyllic countryside and three different rivers The town's prehistory dates back to the fifth millennium BC, The first documented mention of the town dates back almost 1220 years ago On the occasion of its 1200th anniversary in 2005, Forchheim organized a big festival Concerts, performances and all kinds of other events were held, a special postage stamp was issued by the post office and all the local pubs and breweries came up with special treats for the festive occasion
The Josef Greif brewery contributed a festival beer The malty treat with creamy caramel notes and delicate hop bitterness was so well received that it was added to the core range and is still brewed today The balanced beer specialty has a pleasant 5.5% alcohol content in the glass and captivates with a harmony of soft sweetness, pithy spiciness and fresh bitterness
A quaffable Franconian that tastes just as good on festive days as it does on all other days
