fürst carl kellerbier

The cellar beer is one of the Franconian classics in the Fürst Carl range. In Franconia, the cellar beer is traditionally drunk in the beer cellar, along with a hearty snack with crispy stone-baked bread, spicy cheese, butter and, ideally, a pickle and some chives. But the uncomplicated, tasty cellar beer also tastes excellent in any other situation. For brewers, the cellar beer is a daily bread: the basis of the cellar beer is the so-called Zwickl, the sample that brewers draw from the Zwickl tap. The Zwicklbier is used to determine whether the beer is ready to be bottled or whether it still needs a while.

Fürst Carls Kellerbier is unfiltered and is in the good average with 5.1% alcohol content. Due to the natural residues of the raw materials, the beer has a grippy texture and a full-bodied, strong character. In addition to a large amount of fine malt, hops from Ellingen are used in the production. The regional specialty gives the beer an irresistible smell of fragrant linden blossoms, spicy cardamom and light-footed fruits. In the glass, the cellar beer is presented in a cloudy amber gold. The taste test reveals a powerful body with soft notes of caramel, aromatic hay, sun-dried straw and freshly mown grass.

The cellar beer from the princely castle brewery Ellingen is a Franconian delicacy that scores with down-to-earth, strong taste and drinkability. We carry the beer in 0.33 liters and 0.5 liters.
