Most beers, no matter how different their taste, go through roughly the same brewing process and are made from the same ingredients. Their diversity is thanks to the skill of the brewers and the different compositions of hops and malt. The granite bock from the Hofstetten brewery also goes through the mash tun, lauter tun, wort pan, whirlpool, fermentation and storage tank before it is bottled. Nevertheless, there are one or two special intermediate steps on the way from the mash tun to bottling. On the one hand, the fine bock beer is not fermented in today’s stainless steel tanks, but in 120-year-old granite vats. The special taste and soft caramel sweetness are created by making granite blocks glow in a wood fire and then placing them in the beer. The sugar in the beer wort caramelizes on the hot stone and creates an incomparable taste.
The Granitbock is filled into handy bottles with a capacity of 0.33 liters and in a larger format. The strikingly shaped large bottle is finished with a wax seal and is particularly suitable if you want to store the beer at home. Due to its alcohol content of 7.3% and its style, the Bock is ideal for letting it mature for a few more years in your own cellar.
You can also open the large bottle for the next festive occasion and share the fine wine with your friends!
