Bayreuther Urstoff is a traditional classic with a powerful character – a beer that impresses with its flavor and history. Brewed according to a recipe dating back to the founding years of Bayreuther Bierbrauerei AG, this special style embodies the Bavarian craft of brewing in its purest form: authentic, honest, and full of character. Bayreuth’s master brewers love all their creations, but this beer is their secret favorite.
With an alcohol content of 5.6% and an original gravity of 12.8 °P, the original beer is somewhat stronger and more robust than the well-known Bayreuther Hell . In the glass, the brew shines with a rich, golden yellow hue and is topped with a stable, white head of foam. The first sip impresses with full-bodied malt notes, subtle caramel notes, and a magnificent depth. Hallertau aroma and bittering hops give the beer a balanced character with a harmonious 19 bitterness units – mild in bitterness, yet distinct in presence.
The combination of malty richness and precise hopping makes this Urstoff particularly drinkable and an ideal accompaniment to hearty dishes. Whether with roast pork with dumplings, red cabbage, and dark beer sauce, game dishes with hand-grated spaetzle and cranberries, or Franconian bratwurst with sauerkraut, caraway rolls, and mustard—the Bayreuth Urstoff easily holds its own, rounding off every meal with its malty aroma and elegant hopping.
