Günther Bräu Hausbrauer - Full beer

The tradition of home brewing originates from Franconia and dates back to the beginning of the 19th century, when there was an agreement between farmers and breweries: Farmers could deliver a portion of their barley to the brewery they trusted and received a corresponding amount of beer in return The breweries malted the grain and converted the amount delivered into beer When the barley juice was finished fermenting, the farmers could collect their share and leave it to mature at home in their own cellar Lower taxes were levied on home-brewed beer, so all parties involved got something out of it

Nowadays, the custom of home brewing is almost extinct Some breweries commemorate the beautiful tradition with home brewer's beer However, for the sake of practicality, this beer is already stored and bottled ready for consumption

The Upper Franconian brewery Günther-Bräu has such a home-brewed beer, which is still produced according to a recipe dating back to 1840 The strong golden beer has an alcohol content of 4.8% and smells of sun-kissed grain The first taste tingles on the tongue with sparkling carbon dioxide and hearty grain A masterful balance between soft malt and fresh hops make the Hausbrauer Vollbier a drinkable pleasure for every day

Even if you can no longer have the Hausbrauer freshly filled into your own keg, this example from Günther is still a lot of fun!
