The Hofstetten brewery is located in the Austrian Mühlviertel and is therefore built on granite. The entire region is characterized by massive granite deposits and has profited from this fact for hundreds of years. But it is not only the building trade that has benefited from the hard rock; other trades also enjoy its advantages. Breweries, for example, use the pure water that flows through the granite and is filtered and enriched in an incomparable way.
One of these breweries is the Hofstetten brewery. From the very beginning, Austria's oldest brewery has brewed with this good water, and the traditional family business also uses large granite vats and granite stones heated in a fire for its famous granite bock . The brewery and the entire region have a lot to thank the stone for and recently celebrated it with the ceremonial opening of the granite nature trail. To mark the occasion, Hofstetten brewed its granite beer, a fine tipple in honor of granite and all those who work with it.
Hofstetten's Granit is a specialty beer with a moderate 5.5% alcohol content that comes in a coppery, shimmering honey gold. The impressive head of solid foam smells of strongly roasted malt, toffee and floral hops. The first sip follows this successful opening and brings full-bodied grain, creamy caramel, roasted malt and a delicate hint of floral hops to the tongue.
Cheers to granite!
