🌍 Germany · Festbier · One of 3 Festbiers in hopIQ

A traditional dark festival beer brewed specifically for Erlangen's Bergkirchweih — using an elaborate two-mash process to an old recipe that few breweries still maintain. First tapping happens every year on April 23rd — 'Beer Day' (the Reinheitsgebot anniversary). At 6% ABV no lightweight, but below average for a dark bock.
