Brotzeitbier
A pale lager with a fine-bitter, feinherb drinking style, brewed at 11.4° original gravity for 4.9% ABV. The gentle bitterness is its signature. Brotzeitbier comes from Passau, where the Fürstenbau of the Hacklberg brewery was built in 1692 on the site of an older castle as the summer seat of the prince-bishops. The Bräustüberl has been documented since 1912.
