Ganter Export

Brauerei Ganter
Germany·Lager
Tap to rate

Ganter's Export leans on Schwarzwaldwasser and regional grain — a golden-yellow, bottom-fermented lager at 12.5°P, running mild and full-bodied with a dense head and fine carbonation. Awarded DLG Gold in 2025, it's the Freiburg answer to the northern Export tradition: rounder, softer, less hop-driven, built to pair with roasts, stew and cheese.
