Fürstentrunk
A pale Festbier with full hop aroma, light sunny malt tones and a higher original gravity. Fritz Sailer and brewmaster Heinrich Steiner first brewed it in the early 1950s, when a good strong beer was possible again after the thin wartime brews. In the 1960s it was nicknamed the Heimgehbier, the last one before the walk home. It lagers for three to four months in dark, cool cellars. 5.7 % ABV.
