News General news
The February tasting as part of Meininger's International Craft Beer Awards was all about top-fermented British beer styles. The expert jury of beer sommeliers, brewers, and other experts from research and academia tasted the porter and stout beer styles popular with craft brewers, as well as a range of ales - from blonde ales to amber and brown ales to dark ales. The Porter "Dolden Dark" from the craft beer family of the Riedenburger Brauhaus was awarded the gold medal.
At the same time, the beer experts named the "Dolden Dark" "Porter of the Year." According to the jury, Riedenburger Brauhaus has succeeded with this beer in creating a special blend of malt and caramel notes, in which aromas of chocolate and coffee are perfectly embedded.
The strong, intense stout with an original gravity of 17.2% and an alcohol content of 6.9% by volume has been brewed since 2015. Head brewer Maximilian Krieger is particularly pleased about the special "Porter of the Year" award: "We are very proud of this prize, because the verdict of such an expert jury emphatically proves that our philosophy - to brew with organic and regional raw materials at the highest quality level - is appreciated and successful."
