Schankbier if you want a richer, more textured kellerbier experience,
Störtebeker Keller-Bier 1402 if you want something leaner and more delicate.
Both sit at identical IBUs (25) and nearly identical ABV, so you're really choosing between two interpretations of the style—one more assertive, one more restrained. The Kelheim beer leans into what makes kellerbiers special: that unfiltered depth. Störtebeker goes minimal, which works beautifully if you're after clarity and balance.

Schankbier
Schankbier hits you with immediate grain presence—there's a soft wheat-and-malt sweetness that doesn't feel cloying, just substantial. The unfiltered haze carries weight; you get that characteristic kellerbier cloudiness working in your mouth, slightly chalky, grounding. It's got a creamy head that sticks around, and the finish is clean but lingers just long enough to remind you this beer has backbone. At 5.2%, it's doing more work than the numbers suggest.
Störtebeker Keller-Bier 1402
Störtebeker Keller-Bier 1402 is the minimalist's play—brighter, more transparent even when it's technically cloudy. You catch subtle grain notes without heaviness, almost like it's asking permission before it settles in. The mouthfeel is tighter, more delicate; it feels like a true session beer wearing a kellerbier label. There's elegance here, but less personality. It's refreshing in a way that makes you reach for another without thinking too hard.
