hopIQ found 10 beers with the same hoppy and bitter character as Hirsch Die Hopfensau. Hirsch's Die Hopfensau is the dark Zwickl that breaks the mould — dark amber-to-brown, 5.2%, but assertive with it, 25 IBU of Franconian hop character that walks all over the roasted malt base without asking permission. Unusual for the region, unfiltered, and unapologetic. For Kellerbier drinkers who got tired of pale. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
