Privatbrauerei Zötler - Heinrich der Kempter

Reddish, amber-colored beer with a beautiful, white head of foam. The taste is malty sweet, berries with a slight smoke flavor. The name of the reddish goat comes from the Allgäu legend of Heinrich the Kempter. He fought for a little boy who stole bread from the Emperor's table and fell out of favor. In the dispute Henry killed the cupbearer and was sentenced to death by the emperor. Out of his misery, the knight seized the Emperor and held his blade under his mighty red beard. Emperor Otto was forced to lift the verdict, but banished Henry from the court. Many years later, Emperor Otto became ambushed, which Heinrich recognized as such when he was bathing in a tub. He then grabbed his sword and hurried to help the Emperor, naked as he was. Fighting like a bear, he defeated all his opponents. When Emperor Otto realized who had come to his aid, he forgave Heinrich the Kempter.
