A Taste of Tradition: Helles Schlenkerla Lagerbier

Helles Schlenkerla Lagerbier is an exceptional Bavarian Helles Lager that embodies the rich brewing traditions of Bamberg, Germany. With a 4.3% ABV, this beer is crafted by the renowned Schlenkerla ("Heller-Bräu" Trum), a brewery with a storied history dating back to 1405. This lager is a testament to Schlenkerla's expertise, blending the smooth, clean characteristics of a Helles lager with a hint of smokiness, making it a truly unique drinking experience.

Brewery Information

Schlenkerla ("Heller-Bräu" Trum) is one of the oldest and most respected breweries in Bamberg, Germany, a city famous for its brewing heritage. Established in 1405, Schlenkerla has been a cornerstone of traditional German brewing for centuries. The brewery is particularly famous for its smoked beers, known as "Rauchbier," and the Helles Schlenkerla Lagerbier carries a subtle echo of this signature smokiness, even though it is brewed with unsmoked malt. This brewery's commitment to quality and tradition is evident in every sip, offering a taste of Bavaria's rich brewing history.
