Hofmeister Lager is Back - Review

Friday, 8 September 2017 - 131 comments
Yes indeed Hofmeister is back!  Helles lager is slow-brewed colder and longer than most other beers today. Hofmeister is brewed in Bavaria Germany using natural mineral water.

Hofmeister is made according to the 1516 Reinheitsgebot German Beer Purity Law, which states that only three ingredients can be used to make beer. And while using so few ingredients doesn’t make things easy, it does result in an incredible lager.

Bottles of Hofmeister Lager

So what did we think?
This light golden coloured lager is easy to drink, nice and refreshing and when poured into a glass it has a nice frothy head. Yep, we love it, especially Paul (the husband) as used to drink Hofmeister years ago so he's certainly glad to see it back!

Where to Buy:
Currently, you can buy Hofmeister over at Amazon or via their Shopify page. Please drink responsibly.

    The exciting thing for me is that they are still using the slogan "Follow the bear" which I have fond memories of from years ago.

    The three ingredients are pure mineral water from an underground lake beneath the Ebersberg Forest, locally grown barley and hops from the award-winning Hallertau region.
