Brauerei Roppelt Kellerbier if you want restraint and tradition, Schwanenbräu Ebermannstadt if you want slightly more presence.
Both are unfiltered lagers from Franconia's serious brewers—the half-point ABV difference is subtle but real. The IBU tie means the bitterness won't separate them; it's really about body and how they sit in your mouth.

Brauerei Roppelt Kellerbier
Roppelt's kellerbier has that honest, almost austere quality you get from breweries that haven't chased trends since 1885. It's clean—almost minimalist—with a grainy sweetness that doesn't linger. The carbonation is gentle, almost resigned, like it knows exactly what it is and doesn't need to prove anything. Finishes dry and slightly peppery.
Schwanenbräu Ebermannstadt Kellerbier
Schwanenbräu's version carries a bit more weight without being heavy—you notice the extra half-percent ABV as a soft roundness that makes the malt feel more generous. There's a biscuity depth here, something that suggests the lagering was patient and deliberate. It pours cloudy and tastes like it, with a fuller mouthfeel that lingers just long enough to feel substantial.
