Communbräu Winterzoigl

Zoigl is a beer specialty that is at home in the northern Upper Palatinate Traditionally, the beer is brewed in the Kommunbrauhaus The unfinished beer, which is called wort, was then distributed to the innkeepers and brewers in the surrounding area and they finished the beer in their own fermentation cellar The result is beers that differ only by small nuances The basis is the same, the storage, the yeast and the fermentation process can differ and result in small variations in taste Nowadays, this tradition is hardly practiced anymore, even though it is part of Bavaria's intangible cultural heritage Many breweries in the Upper Palatinate still brew Communbräu-Zoigl today, but it is already finished and sold by the brewer himself

The Hösl brewery from Mitterteich has two Communbräu-Zoigl in its range The Communbräu-Winterzoigl is particularly popular, which used to be drunk in winter for social gatherings after work The one or other Winterzoigl was used to talk about gossip and gossip in the village Beer connects!

The Winterzoigl flows into the glass in a cloudy amber hue and is crowned by a stately, airy head. A wonderfully wintery aroma rises from the white fluff: Roasted almonds meet roasted malt, oven-fresh stone-baked bread and creamy caramel on the nose The hops add a gentle, citrusy fruitiness and a hint of freshly cut herbs The winter beer delights the palate with a full-bodied aroma of raisin, nut and chocolate The aroma caresses the palate with a delicate melt and is complemented by a subtle bitterness

The Communbräu Winterzoigl evokes associations of cozy evenings by the fireplace with entertaining conversations and good company

A success!
