Craftmayer Grünhopfen Pils

In addition to its core range, the Rittmayer brewery produces a whole series of special brews that are strictly limited and only appear once a year.

This is because the brewery only has the opportunity to use freshly harvested hop cones once a year The hop harvest depends on the weather and the variety, but in most years it falls sometime in late summer During these glorious three or four weeks in August or September, the ripe cones are picked by machine from the plants, which can be up to seven meters high

The brewers at Rittmayer went to the hop garden at exactly this time to secure the freshest flowers The green gold goes straight into the kettle and is processed into a delicious green hop pilsner This year's hop variety is Hallertauer Blanc
