Since Carl von Linde invented artificial refrigeration in 1870, breweries have been cooling their beers in cold storage facilities or cooling tanks. Today, just as centuries ago, Graser Felsenkellerbier is stored without artificial refrigeration in the historic rock cellars beneath the brewery. At a constant ambient temperature of 8 to 10°C, it matures evenly in moderate cold, resulting in a particularly balanced, refined, and malty flavor. www.felsenkellerbier.info Specifications: Original gravity: 13.0 °pAlcohol: 5.4% Ingredients: Water, barley malt, hops, yeast. 0.5 L Euro bottleDeposit policy for mail order Background: Bamberg’s oldest brewing tradition, formerly the Michaelsberg Brewery. Konrad Graser was the father of the original Schlenkerla, Andreas Graser. Before Konrad Graser took over Hellerbräu, which is still owned by his family today, 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.
