craftbee

Someone who doesn't like beer and someone who shouldn't get too close to bees got together and brewed a beer with honey. This may sound like the beginning of a strange fairy tale, but it is the beginning of the promising craftBee brewery, which has come up with an unusual ingredient for its beer. Honey in drinks has so far only been known in the form of mead or hot honey milk at the Christmas market. Michael Busse and Michael Hertweck prove with craftBee that the potion of the gods also tastes great in beer.

The honey does it!

Not all honey is the same, the two Michaels know that only too well. That's why they chose the delicious Kassel city honey, which Hertweck's wife produces with her bees, for their brewing project. The special feature of this excellent honey is that it is not produced from the honeydew of a single flower culture. The beehives of the city honey bees are scattered all over Kassel, so that the bees cannot concentrate on one type of plant, but rather have to fly to whatever flowers they find. It sometimes happens that the city honey contains the nectar of up to 400 different types of flowers - diversity that you can taste. However, this flavor bomb also poses challenges for hobby brewers: The consumer wants a certain continuity in taste, which is quite difficult to balance given beer's relatively small list of ingredients. Like their beers like the No. 1 Amber Honey or the No. 2 Golden Honey , however, prove that craftBee succeeds wonderfully in brewing consistently delicious beer. So good that other beekeepers have now gotten a taste for it and are ordering beers with their very own honey from craftBee.

Beer instead of wine

The guys from craftBee prove that honey in beer doesn't necessarily have to result in a sweet mixed beer drink. The honey in their beers provides a pleasant velvety feeling on the tongue and a round, full taste. Busse and Hertweck are proud of the extraordinary, aromatic drink they have created and are therefore happy to describe their beer as a drink that should be drunk with care and enjoyment. Just like a good wine, craftBee's beer works best when drunk from an individual glass at the right temperature. Craft-bee recommends enjoying their specialties at around 10 degrees from the specially developed cup.
