spezial rauchbier

The house beer of the Bamberg Brewery Spezial is their ever-popular special smoked beer. Not only Schlenkerla has kept the smoked beer tradition high in Bamberg, the Spezial brewery also sticks to its classic. It's not for nothing that every summer crowds of Bambergers and non-Bambergers make a pilgrimage up the mountain to the Spezikeller. Above the roofs of Bamberg and the shady branches of old trees you can enjoy the good special smoked beer with a unique view of Bamberg's old town and the surrounding countryside.

But even without a view, the special smoked beer has enough to offer. In contrast to the Schlenkerla Rauchbier, which tastes very dominant and overwhelmingly like smoked ham, the Spezial Rauchbier enchants with its fine constellation of aromas. Although this beer also has an unmistakable smoked ham aroma, there are also other flavor components that make the special smoked beer a true delicacy. We like the special smoked beer best with a hearty snack with good bread and Bavarian specialties on the plate. Add a dollop of mustard and life is perfect.

It's often the little things that make you the happiest.

Only the shandy tastes a little strange. Strong smoke aromas, a touch of ham and sweet lemonade? Definitely a matter of taste, but after a sweaty walk up to the Spezikeller it probably tastes like heaven on earth.
