Brewer's Advent Day #11: Marie Hausbrendel Hell

Malt, hops, water and brewer's yeast - even today, Schwarzbräu still brews genuine premium beers according to traditional recipes, of course strictly in accordance with the Bavarian Purity Law of 1516. That the beers are among the best in the world is proven by many European Beer Star Awards that have gone to Schwarzbräu over the last 12 years: 18 times gold, silver and bronze. Congratulations!

Also worth mentioning: As one of only six breweries left in Bavaria, Schwarzbräu produces its own malt from regional barley in its in-house malt house.

But who is Marie?
For this we have to tell a love story. The young and beautiful Marie was the heart and soul of the Hausbrendel brewery. She charmed people with her smile.

Young Konrad Schwarz from the brewery Schwarzbräu also heard about the beautiful brewer's daughter. He wanted to take a look at Marie Hausbrendel himself. He found her - and the two fell head over heels in love. A short time later, the wedding bells rang.

The story of Marie and Konrad is still told today at Schwarzbräu and a "Helles" is drunk in her honor. Leopold Schwarz, the grandson of the two, dedicated this beer to his grandmother: Schwarzbräu "Marie Hausbrendel" spoils with a pleasantly fresh and mature taste. What a nice story! What a delicious beer!

I love this beer. I enjoyed the story of the naming of Marie Hausbrendel Hell. it was awesome that the representatives from a neighboring/competing brewery would come to speak about this beer, the beer style and the region. It reminds of some American craft breweries who help one another as opposed to merely competing with one another. The appearance, aroma and flavor of this Helles are outstanding. Long lasting foam, malty smell and sweet taste, with just the right amount of hop bitterness all combine to produce a delicious, well balanced beer. I think this is my favorite of the first 11 beers from the Brewers Advent Calendar.
