Winning beer Hoppy Dunkel

Home brewing competition of Maisel & Friends and BrauBeviale

The inventiveness and creativity of the home brewer scene is fascinating and inspiring. That's why we launched the home brewer competition together with BrauBeviale a few years ago. It took place for the sixth time in 2023. With the competition theme, we ventured into a very special beer style that had never been brewed before: A Munich Dunkel (Modern Style), in which the classic malty sweetness was to meet modern hop varieties. Paul Schüßler from Hessen (Germany) won the competition as his "Hoppy Dunkel" emerged from the jury tasting as the best submission. Paul is well known in the home brewing community through his blog Friedies Brauhaus, where he blogs about his passion for beer and hobby brewing topics. At the beginning of October, Paul visited us in Bayreuth and brewed his winning recipe with our master brewer in our Maisel & Friends Brew Workshop.

Klassisches Münchner Dunkel mit modernem Touch

Das Maisel & Friends Hoppy Dunkel sieht auf den ersten Blick aus wie ein klassisches Münchner Dunkel: haselnussbraun mit leichter Trübung und einer cremigen Schaumkrone. Doch schon der Duft des Bieres verrät, dass es sich nicht um einen traditionellen Vertreter des Bierstils handelt. Der Einsatz von Aromahopfen gibt dem eigentlich malzbetonten Dunklen einen fruchtigen Kick! Durch das Wechselspiel von Malz und Hopfen strömen sowohl malzige Aromen von Honig, Lakritz, Schokolade und Nuss als auch hopfige Noten von Blaubeere, Zitrus, Orange und Pfirsich mit leicht grasigen Nuancen in die Nase. Im Mund setzt sich das überraschende Aromenspiel fort. Einmal streichelt das Malz mit Noten nach Karamell, Nuss und Schokolade die Geschmacksknospen, dann tritt wieder der Hopfen mit fruchtigen Anklängen von Zitrus, Orange und Pfirsich in den Vordergrund. Der Hopfen gibt dem Münchner Dunkel eine etwas stärkere Bittere und leicht grasige Noten in den trockenen Abgang, diese passen aber harmonisch ins Bild der außergewöhnlichen Braukreation.
