Tegernseer 1806 Max I Joseph

First brewed in 2006 to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the founding of the Kingdom of Bavaria this is a brilliantly easy drinking beer with a soft hoppy feel, a stimulating bitterness which leads up a touch of clean, grassiness on the finish.

Starting out as a Benedictine monastic brewery Herzoglich Bayerisches Brauhaus Tegernsee make one of the best Helles lager in the world. These days the brewery is located on the shores of the lake after which it is named situated an hour south Munich in the foothills of the Alps. Using all the traditional brewing techniques the German brewers have been perfecting for centuries this brewery makes unbeatable beers with a true sense and taste of tradition. With the bulk of their production being consumed in Bavaria not much of it makes its way over to our shores, so they're worth grabbing when available.
