More information about Schoppe Bräu Brut X Ale
The right beer for festive occasions.
There are moments when it simply has to be something special. If you still don't want to do without beer in these situations, we recommend a Brut Ale. The Berlin brewery Schoppe has a Brut in its range that we particularly like. Brut Ales are fermented with champagne yeast and in this process acquire a fine perlage and an acidity reminiscent of the noble sparkling wine. The brewers at Schoppe affectionately call their Brut Ale the bubbly of the road, and there's no better way to title their creation.
Schoppe's Brut X Ale is a top-fermented beer cold-hopped with Hallertauer Blanc. The noble drop presents itself in a slightly cloudy golden hue in the glass and forms a respectable crown of firm, white foam. An unusual aroma of fine, light grapes paired with sour green apple, white pepper, pear and yeast entices the first sip. This is dry, finely yeasty and tastes of slightly acidic light fruit. The Brut Ale maintains a great balance between pleasant sweetness, tangy acidity and hoppy tartness. The finish is light on its feet and carries a refreshing citrus note.
A light-as-a-feather beer that we find particularly good with Mediterranean cuisine. Grilled fish, for example, with a colorful summer salad complements the aromatics of the beer wonderfully.

Schoppe brew
Fancy names have become part of the standard ABC of the modern craft beer brewer. And hey, it's legitimate to have your illustrious range represented by a unique name. The small Schoppe brewery from Berlin, however, shows that it's possible to be fancy and still get by without big Anglicisms and extravagant neologisms. Real beer instead of mass-produced goods Behind the simple name lies a true avant-gardist: Thorsten Schoppe caused a sensation in the beer world years ago and virtually helped lift the craft beer movement out of its cradle. At some point, the inspired brewer had had enough of large-scale brewing and turned to his craft roots and the original art of brewing. Kettle instead of computer was the motto that ultimately led to Thorsten starting his own thing. Since then, the humorous motto "hops, malt, and muscle grease" has applied, perfectly describing the small-scale...
