Beer has only been filtered since the end of the 19th century. What increased the shelf life of the beer back then is actually no longer necessary with today’s hygiene standards. In the 1950s, this variety was offered as “Kräusenbier” – and over time became known and popular as Zwickl.
A naturally cloudy, velvety pale ale like from great-grandfather’s times.
Back then, the brewmaster took a sample from the tank using the so-called Zwickl tap to taste the beer before filtration. The Zwickl therefore comes directly from the lager cellar and is therefore also known as “Kellerbier”.
Naturally cloudy pale, from the cool depths of the lager cellar. Harmonious, with a dynamic, fresh malt and hop bouquet. A beer for sensual connoisseurs.
Original wort content 12.3 °
Alcohol content 5.3 %
Our Zwickl was originally offered exclusively for the catering trade in barrels and in alley sales in the historic 2-litre siphon bottles. Today, our Zwickl friends can still have these bottles refilled on three days a year: Lindl Sunday, Blattl Sunday and on a Saturday shortly before Christmas.
