Minnesänger - Pils

Wolfram von Eschenbach is a mysterious figure in German literature The minnesinger and poet is believed to have lived sometime at the end of the 12th century It is assumed that he lived somewhere in Franconia and served at the court of various counts Nothing more is known about him, but he is still considered one of the most important authors of his time and his works are still held in high esteem today And this despite the fact that it is not even one hundred percent certain that Wolfram could read and write, because the poet described himself as illiterate

The Weißenohe monastery brewery has brewed a beer in honor of this illustrious figure Its Minnesänger is a pilsner that combines the characters of pilsner and pale ale into a harmonious whole All of the raw materials for the brew come from controlled organic farming, which is committed to the strict rules of BIOLAND, and

The full-bodied hop aroma is provided by the Smaragd, Ariana and Spalter Select varieties, which come from the sunny fields of the Hallertau region Exquisite Pilsner malt gives the slender beer its velvety mouthfeel and contrasts the tangy and bitter hop components with a soft sweetness This balanced Pilsner would certainly have appealed to Wolfram von Eschenbach and perhaps even inspired him to write one of his enchanting poems!
