Featured Breweries
PAULANER
Paulaner Brauerei Paulaner Pils / Münchner Pils
Pilsner – German ⁄ 4.8% ABV
Paulaner has brought back a classic Germany pilsner, that delivers a clean, crisp taste. Our Bavarian brewers are particularly experienced in crafting classic Pilsner biers and ready to fill the growing demand for lighter, more refreshing products.
Paulaner Brauerei Paulaner Hefe-Weißbier / Hefe-Weizen / Weissbier
Wheat Beer – Hefeweizen ⁄ 5.5% ABV
The No. 1 Hefe-Weißbier in Germany and one of the world’s favourites. Naturally cloudy and shining silky gold in the glass under a really strong head of foam. At the first mouthful this Weißbier classic has a mild aroma of banana. Finer palates detect a trace of mango and pineapple and the balance between sweet and bitter. Beer connoisseurs appreciate the fine note of yeast and the mild but sparkling mix of aromas. It is a typical beergarden beer, which brings people together all over the world.
DELIRIUM
Delirium – Huyghe Deliria
Belgian Strong Golden Ale ⁄ 8.5% ABV
Colour and appearance: a pale blonde colour and fine creamy-white head which clings to the glass. Flavour: A pleasant sparkling carbonate content produces a soft, full taste perception. The aroma is very balanced with a fruity, flowery background and an initial Chardonnay impression which evolves into a spicy, mild aroma of hops. Taste: Full-bodied and balanced with fruity tones of apple and Chardonnay grapes. Deliria has a fine, mild bitterness in its aftertaste and a splendid, round feel in the mouth which evolves well. Special beer brewed once a year to mark International Women’s Day.
Delirium – Huyghe Delirium Tremens
Belgian Strong Golden Ale ⁄ 8.5% ABV
The allusion to pink elephants and the choice of names is not due to chance. With a particular character, the unique taste results from triple fermentation and the use of three different yeast strains. Sweet, biscuit malt backbone, supported by pleasant warmth and spice, finishes well rounded, floral, and dry. Color and Sight: Pale blond, the fine and regular sparkle creates a nice, stable foam head. Scent: Slightly malty, heavy touch of alcohol, spicy. Taste: A good shot of alcohol ignites in the mouth, as it were, which really warms the tongue and palate. The taste is also characterized by its roundness. The finish is strong, long and dry bitter.
RADEBERGER GRUPPE
Allgäuer Brauhaus Oberdorfer Festbier
Festbier ⁄ 5.4% ABV
Radeberger Gruppe Schöfferhofer Grapefruit
Shandy ⁄ 2.5% ABV
