Greifenklau Kellerbier if you want something lighter and more delicate, Schwanenbräu Ebermannstadt Kellerbier if you want fuller body and grip.
Both are unfiltered lagers from the same tradition, but that half-percent ABV difference actually matters here—it shifts the weight noticeably. The IBUs are identical, so bitterness isn't the differentiator; it's texture and presence on the palate.

Greifenklau Kellerbier
Greifenklau hits you with immediate, almost mineral-like crispness. There's a grainy sweetness that doesn't linger—it dries out fast, leaving your mouth clean and ready for another sip. The yeast character is subtle, just enough cloudiness to remind you it's alive, but it doesn't muscle in on the flavor. This is the kind of Kellerbier that makes you understand why people drink them straight from the cellar tap.
Schwanenbräu Ebermannstadt Kellerbier
Schwanenbräu feels heavier in your mouth right away—not heavy in a bad way, but present. There's a softer, almost breadlike malt sweetness that sits longer than the Greifenklau. The carbonation is slightly gentler, which gives it a smoother finish. You get more personality from the yeast here, a whisper of barnyard funk that adds complexity without being weird.
