Topic: Schwarzbier


In the News (Sat 11 Oct 08)

  
  Realbeer.com: Horst Dornbusch
Among the best-known of today's commercial versions are the Köstritzer Schwarzbier from the Thuringian spa town of Bad Köstritz, not far from Germany's cultural capital of Weimar, and the Kloster Mönchshof Schwarzbier from the Franconian city of Kulmbach, in northern Bavaria.
Schwarzbier is arguably the oldest European beer style for which we have hard, scientific brewing evidence and, because of this, Kulmbach is probably the place with the longest uninterrupted brewing tradition in the world.
The Köstritzer Schwarzbier brewery is to the east of Kulmbach, in the neighboring state of Thuringia.

 German Schwarzbier - Bold and Black - Beer and Brewing
The oldest documented schwarzbier is Braunschweiger Mumme, brewed since about 1390 in Braunschweig, a member of the Hanseatic League and an important trade city during the Middle Ages.
It is generally believed that the first Kostritzer Schwarzbier was ale, but developed into a lager beer by 1878 with the introduction of German bottom-fermenting yeast.

 Schwarzbier - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Schwarzbiers are bottom-fermented beers, though originally top-fermenting yeast was used in brewing them.
The roots of the Schwarzbier lie in Thuringia and Saxony; the oldest known Schwarzbier is Braunschweiger Mumme ("Brunswick Mum") brewed since the Middle Ages (the first documented mention is from 1390) in Braunschweig.
The earliest documented mention in Thuringia is of Köstritzer from 1543, a popular Schwarzbier still produced today.
