Maisel & Friends Hoppy Dunkel

The Bayreuth brewery Maisel & Friends is known for supporting the young brewing scene in word and deed The team has launched various projects that give newcomers to the industry the opportunity to try things out and take their first steps with expert help The brewery repeatedly opens its doors to so-called cuckoo brewers:These people brew beer, but do not yet have their own brewing system and are therefore dependent on the quality of established breweries In addition to their hospitality, Maisel & Friends has also come up with a hobby brewing competition Together with BrauBeviale, the country's most skilled home brewers have been chosen every year for the past six years and the best beer is brewed in a limited edition by Maisel & Friends and the lucky winner

In 2023, the amateurs were given a particularly tricky task: The home brewers had to create a modern version of the Munich Dunkel The aim was to mix up the dark, sweet malt variety of the classic with a modern hop kick The radiant winner was Paul Schüßler, whose Hoppy Dunkel took the palates and hearts of the jury by storm

The Hessian has come up with a hazelnut-brown Munich Dunkel that complements the traditional flavor profile of creamy caramel, roasted nuts and chocolate with hoppy components with hints of juicy peach, tangy lemon and sun-kissed orange Unbeatable!
