Rampendahl home brewery

MALT, HOPS, YEAST and WATER

According to the Purity Law from 1516, only these ingredients may be used to brew beer.

Malt is pre-treated barley that is soaked to cause it to germinate; the grain's own enzymes are formed. When these enzymes are activated, the water is removed from the grain, i.e. it is dried. The drying temperature and the duration of the drying process determine the colour of the malt and, accordingly, of the beer later on.

We brew Helles, Weizen, Maibock and our Rampendahl Spezial.

The brewhouse, fermenting cellar and warehouse can be visited on guided tours.
