More information about 6x Hymir
Hymir the Dark belongs to the Jötun, the Norse giant race. Together with Thor, he once went out to catch the Midgard Serpent.Hymir possesses a cauldron so large that Aegir, the Norse brewing god, can boil enough beer in it to quench the thirst of all the gods. Thor borrowed this cauldron from Hymir and passed it on to Aegir. We also borrowed this cauldron and used its size not to brew a lot of beer, but to brew a particularly strong beer.
Huge amounts of the best barley malt, partially roasted, give this divine libation the mightiness and darkness typical of an Imperial Stout. It is countered by subtle roasted and chocolate flavors and a balanced bitterness.
Stout is a strong, deep black, top-fermented and malt-driven beer whose roots lie in England. It is a variation of the porter, which was the predominant beer style among the English working class in the 18th and 19th centuries. The Imperial Stout, a strong version of a stout, was first brewed in England in the 18th century as a gift for the Russian Tsarina Catherine the Great.

We come from Wacken in Holstein, a region mostly off the beaten track. A little country, often gray and sometimes flat like the bland uniform taste of industrial beer, which we endured for far too long, like thirsty Bedouins wandering through the brewery-poor and monotonous desert. Our small craft beer brewery was founded at the beginning of 2016 by three beer enthusiasts in the heart of Wacken in Schleswig-Holstein. After months of planning and seemingly endless conversion work on a former supermarket, the time had finally come in mid-June: the brewing equipment was set up. Since then we have a so-called three-vessel brewhouse with a capacity of 20hl per brew, i.e. a yield of 2000 liters per brewing process. The beer is fermented and stored in five stainless steel tanks with a total capacity of 220hl. In addition, we have decided to operate our own bottling plant in order to be as...
