On the hot surface of the copper brew kettle, the hops for the Franconian Pils are slowly roasted. This hop roasting process is so unique that we have already filed a patent for it. Through roasting, the hops develop their own intense aroma. At the same time, they impart a distinct fruity note to the beer. The result is a spicy lager that can confidently be called the forefather of the Pils.

Konrad Graser was the father of the original Schlenkerla, Andreas Graser. Before Konrad Graser took over Hellerbräu, which remains in his family’s possession to this day, he worked for several decades as a brewer at the Michaelsberg Brewery. The monks at the Benedictine monastery, founded in 1008, have been brewing since at least 1122. Konrad left behind extensive handwritten records of his recipes, which his descendants use today to revive Bamberg’s oldest brewing tradition: GRASER beers. All GRASER beers are brewed WITHOUT smoked malt.
