Description

'Liquids do not break the fast' – this was the motto under which monks used to invite people to the strong beer season. Today, I invite you to experience the pinnacle of the art of brewing.

We'll start with an in-depth guided tour of the Riegele Brauwelt, where you'll learn how to brew beers with up to 11% alcohol. After that, we will turn our attention to the sensory experience: In a set order, we will explore the almond aromas of the light Doppelbock, the yeasty fruitiness of the Weizenbock, the delicate chocolate notes of the dark Doppelbock, and then the very special aromas of international heavyweights such as the Belgian Dubbel or an Imperial Stout.

One moment will stick in your memory in particular: when I dip the red-hot iron into your dark Doppelbock. This 'beer spiking' causes the residual sugar to caramelize and creates a creamy, warm head on top of the ice-cold beer – a sensory explosion that you simply have to experience for yourself.

As proof of the knowledge acquired, I will award all participants a personal Bock beer diploma at the end.
