CLASSIC German Beers
Each region and village in Germany has their own unique beer-brewing traditions, however these three classic German beer styles are brewed in most regions and are a great introduction to German beers.
Pils : pilsener-style
German gold! A classic Pils: crispy, tart and tangy. This premium smooth Franconian Pils, brewed with precious aromatic hops and regional brewing barley. A subtle touch of hops at the first sip with a delicately bitter finish.
Original wort: 11.4%
Alcohol content: 4.9%
Weizen : wheat beer
A perfect, crispy & fruity beer match. Yeast-clouded, Franconian Weizenbier — delicately sparkling. Brewed with Leikeim’s own, top-fermented yeast. For all those who like things sparkling and fruity, and the perfect refreshing brew for summer and spring … or simply for all German wheat beer fans!
Original wort: 12.3%
Alcohol content: 5.4%
Kellerbier : lager-style
A rustic beer: unfiltered, brassy, nutty, sweet and opaque. Since Middles Ages, Franconians have been lagering their brews underground to stabilise their maturation, in caves that are naturally cool ‘cellars’, creating this great lager-style brew.
Original wort: 11.3%
Alcohol content: 4.9%
SPECIALTY German Beers
German connoisseur brews and true rarities – think ancient beer brewing using red-hot stones – plus rich dark Schwarze (black beer). Crafted by the award-winning Leikeim family of breweries, whose dedication to brewing perfection is in their DNA and passed down through generations!
Schwarzes : Black beer
Savour the warm glow of hearth and home with this aromatic brew!
This bottom-fermented specialty from near the German Schwarzbier (black beer) homeland region, is full of traditional roasted flavours with rich dark colour and aromas, with a satisfying fine bitter finish.
Original wort: 11.5%
Alcohol content: 4.9%
Steinbier : Stone beer
Luscious liquid amber, this carefully crafted rare stone beer, by Leikeim brewery, uses one of the oldest brewing methods in the world. Malt sugar, caramelised on red-hot stones, infuses this special beer with luscious aromas. Naturally cloudy and amber in colour, it exhibits a slightly smokiness with caramel notes in the initial taste, and a hint of pleasant bitterness on the finish. A wonderful and unique beer experience … and a favourite with our customers!
