In the venerable building of the oldest preserved terminus station in the world, a specialty from long-forgotten days is brewed: the Gose. The sour beer with salt and coriander is a beer specialty from Goslar that also had its heyday in Leipzig in the 18th century. After that, the Gose fell into obscurity and was only brought back out of obscurity with the advent of craft beer in Germany. The Bayerischer Bahnhof brewery is considered an absolute Gose hotspot and, in addition to the original Leipzig Gose, also brews other exciting beers.
Station history
Not many breweries are located in buildings as historically relevant and interesting as the old Bavarian train station. This looks back on an eventful time and seems to be exactly the right place to revive a beer steeped in history like the Gose. After the first station section was ceremoniously inaugurated in 1842, it reached its economic zenith almost 35 years later. Kings and princes walked in the sacred halls and gave the magnificent building additional splendor. A century after its inauguration, large parts of the Bayerischer Bahnhof were destroyed by an Allied bombing raid. The demolition of the station was planned for many years until it was finally declared a listed building in 1975 and could therefore be saved.
After the extensive restoration of the station, it reopened in 2000: The building now houses the Gasthaus & Gosebrauerei Bayerischer Bahnhof project. This new gastronomic landscape ties in with the hustle and bustle of old times and attracts a large audience, and not just for events.
Gosemeister
The creative mind behind the kettle is Matthias Richter, who has been brewing for Bayerischer Bahnhof since 2003. The master brewer is committed to the renaissance of Leipzig Gose and the brewing of surprising, varied beers. In cooperation with young craft beer breweries, hits are created such as the Schampus Weiß Vintage 2017 , another sour beer from Bayerischer Bahnhof. His beer is particularly popular not only in his own bar, but also in America. Richter even creates beers that are shipped exclusively to the USA. In addition to Gose, the specialty of the Bayerischer Hof is naturally cloudy beer. To obtain such a beer, the yeast is not filtered out after the brewing process; the beer is bottled unfiltered, giving it the characteristic cloudiness.
By the way, Gose connoisseurs toast each other with the word Goseanna.
