Germany's most famous black beer brewery, founded in 1543 in Bad Köstritz — a tiny Thuringian town that became world-famous for its dark lager. Köstritzer Schwarzbier is Germany's defining Schwarzbier: smooth, dark and surprisingly approachable with roasted malt character and a clean lager finish. Goethe was reportedly a devoted drinker. Now owned by Bitburger Group but still brewed in Bad Köstritz.
