À propos

Rotbier is a traditional German red lager from Nuremberg, a medieval style that long competed with Bavaria's wheat beers before fading into obscurity. Genossenschaftsbräu Regensburg revives this Franconian classic, brewed with red malts to achieve its distinctive copper-red hue and balanced character. Barley malt forms the foundation, with careful kilning that brings forward toasty, caramel and honey notes. This bottom-fermented lager carries modest bitterness and finishes clean and dry. At 5.8% ABV, it delivers enough body to support the malt without heaviness, making it an approachable introduction to a nearly forgotten German beer tradition.
