Lederhosen are a piece of clothing that most of us only come into contact with at Oktoberfest. Before leather legwear became a fashion statement, it was used in everyday life. Leather is an extremely durable material that keeps you warm, repels water to a certain extent and is comfortable to wear. Ötzi relied on animal skin when choosing his clothes and the tradition continues to this day. Lederhosen have been part of Bavarian traditional costume for centuries and are worn in combination with linen shirts, waistcoats, Haferl shoes and a hat. They come in short and long versions, with bibs and suspenders, with colorful embroidery and with knee ties. In Bavaria, people get their traditional costume out of the closet when there is something to celebrate.
Because most of us don’t have traditional costumes hanging in our closets, the Höss brewery came up with something very special and dressed up its party keg in lederhosen. The smart print gives the 5-liter can a festive look and makes it the star of every party.
Behind the traditional leather with grass-green embroidery lies a fine pale beer brewed in the Bavarian style. The speciality from the Allgäu region scores with its balanced character and is enjoyed by anyone who likes uncomplicated, down-to-earth and tasty beers.
