Manolo Pistolo sounds like the villain in a wild western: a masked bandit who swings a revolver in each hand and shoots anyone who stands in his way without batting an eyelid. In fact, the name is a creation from the Munich Brew Mafia.
Manolo Pistolo is the Munich team’s first beer brandy and was born out of a completely spontaneous idea. In late summer 2018, the brewmasters had just finished a fine pale ale when the idea came up to do something completely different with it. The hoppy beer was the perfect basis for a fine brandy, so they quickly subjected it to distillation. The result was a clear spirit that wonderfully captures the essence of the pale ale. Manolo Pistolo flows into the glass in the crystal-clear color of pure spring water and smells seductively of hops. When you put the delicacy to your lips, a firework of aromas explodes on your tongue. The hops provide floral and fruity notes, while the impressive 40.0% alcohol content contributes a fiery warmth.
The beer brandy from Munich Brew Mafia is the perfect complement to their fine craft beers and is suitable as an aperitif, as a nightcap, as a stomach cleanser between the courses of a meal or as a small dessert afterwards.
