1420 Oak Valley - Hobbit Brown Ale

The third solid variety in our range is a North England Brown Ale. It is a wonderfully drinkable beer with a slight residual sweetness in the finish. The emphasis is on the malt character of the beer. These are biscuit and caramel notes. Our Hobbit beer was created specifically for the Tolkien Days 2018 in Geldern Pont. Since then we present ourselves as a member of the German Tolkien Society every year in Geldern Pont. We are proud to be the sole beer and beverage supplier at Tolkien Tage since 2019.

1420 Oak Valley

As everyone knows the Hobbits love to party and drink, but why is the Hobbit beer called "1420er Eichental"?

Eichental is the name of the sports field / terrain on which the Tolkien Days have been held since 2018 in the small town of Pont, a district of Geldern. 1420 malt was called the barley from the northern quarter, which was harvested in 1420 A. Z., because of its excellent quality. The expression "fourteen twenties" later became a fixed term for a good beer among the Hobbits. But surely you knew that? Most importantly, the 1420 must be tasted!

Beer in Middle Earth

Beer is common throughout Middle Earth and is especially popular in the Shire and Bree. Well-known inns include the inn "Zum Grünen Drachen" in Wasserau, the Golden Perch in Stock, where Pippin says they serve the "best beer in the Eastern Quarter," and the inn "Zum Tänzelnden Pony" in Bree, which serves "excellent beer," as Sam Gamdschie notes. The "ridiculous song" "The Man in the Moon drank good beer" has become famous, a nonsense song about conviviality, a Shire tale from the end of the Third Age, written by Bilbo Baggins and performed by Frodo at the Prancing Pony.
