There are many opportunities to celebrate, as well as suitable festival beers!
The brewing community is a traditional part of events of all kinds. The tradition of the festival beer goes back hundreds of years and even then it was the brewers who crowned the festivity with their creations. Nowadays there aren’t that many festive beers anymore, but for Lent, to dance into May, at the beginning of the cold season and at Christmas, many traditional breweries still brew special, seasonally limited specialties.
The Nikl-Bräu from Pretzfeld in Franconia is one of these breweries. Just in time for the beginning of autumn, the team taps their popular festival beer year after year. The strong creation brings a pleasant 5.8% alcohol content to the table and delights with a warm composition of diverse malts and a hint of hops. The beer flows into the mug in a delicately cloudy amber tone and is crowned with a hand’s breadth of blossom-white, airy foam. The scent of caramel fills the air and puts you in a good mood at the first sip. This reveals a full-bodied body with balanced sweetness. The malt conjures up toffee, sun-ripened stone fruit and light grain on the tongue. The hops only join in towards the end and delivers a mild, slightly bitter finish.
This noble drop is a festival beer for every occasion!
