Hopfenreiter
Double IPA and friendship brew
An Impressive Anniversary: The tenth Symbol of Friendship in the Brewing Scene
Welcome back, Mr. Hopfenreiter! We are delighted to be reunited for the tenth time. Since 2016, different breweries from all over the world have been coming together and contributing their personally selected hop varieties to our popular Double IPA. The result is a unique collaborative beer with an international character, created year after year.
With hop varieties changing every year, our limited beer specialty reveals a new side to itself each time – with flavours that never cease to surprise and appeal to all the senses. One thing always remains the same: a pleasantly strong bitterness and a wonderfully dry mouthfeel. The perfect taste experience for anyone who loves IPAs with a strong character.
Hopfenreiter #10 also contains exciting and, in some cases, rare hop varieties from six breweries:

Maisel & Friends Hopfenreiter #10 (2025)
Another real highlight! The bright golden orange colour of our Hopfenreiter exists thanks to the consistent malt mixture, which reliably ensures this beautiful look. The slight cloudiness, combined with a creamy, fine-pored head, immediately makes you want to ride through the hop fields. And the aroma? A veritable explosion: peach, apricot and mirabelle plum dominate, accompanied by a fruity mixture of grapes, passion fruit, pineapple and red berries. The warmer the beer gets, the more facets emerge – an adventure for the senses. The bitterness remains pleasantly smooth and emphasises the fruitiness without being overpowering.With its potpourri of flavours from six different hop varieties, Hopfenreiter once again demonstrates how varied and harmonious beer can be.
Is this the best Hopfenreiter ever?
