GRASER (Hellerbräu Bamberg) – Braunbier

Special Feature: With a Kneaded Mash

Kneading the mash—a special mashing method used by the old Bamberg brewers—gives Bamberg brown beer its distinctive flavor. In this process, the mash is carefully rinsed with water in the lauter tun and then allowed to rest for some time. The mash swells in the water and turns into a kind of mash dough. The long steeping time allows a particularly large number of the mash’s components to be extracted, resulting in full-bodied, spicy aromas in the beer. When you drink it, Bamberg Braunbier is almost reminiscent of liquid bread.
