Burgdorfer Gasthausbrauerei - Emanuel Grimm

The Burgdorf guesthouse brewery produces the bread-like rye beer in honor of the baker's guild, which is known to work with similar ingredients and has often also pioneered brewing. This was also the case in Burgdorf: In 1751, the pastry baker and city sergeant Emanuel Grimm-Fisch (1691-1776) had his dilapidated house next to the Schlossgässli (at today's Hohengasse 33) rebuilt and simultaneously added a brewery to it. This laid the foundation for Burgdorf's glorious brewery history. Above the chestnut-brown, top-fermented rye beer is a creamy foam through which a scent of fresh bread flows. The taste is full-bodied and velvety-smooth, with a mild hop aroma and bitterness. The caramel notes in the finish are reminiscent of malt candies. The rye beer goes very well with a hearty bread meal.
