New one from Austria...

Should be nice and fresh, first time leaving the brewery...



Hofstetten Heller Bock Saphir....$4.49 / pint

Only 1 review on RateBeer and we are the first to show distribution outside of the brewery according to RateBeer



"Dry-Hopped with Saphir Hops for over 8 weeks" -- label


“Our Heller Bock "Saphir" will now go into the maturation tank where it will rest on full SAPHIR hop flowers [dry-hopping] for a full 8 weeks!” -Jens Luckart - brewing master

"The small Austrian brewery was first mentioned in 1449 and is family-owned since 1847. The family’s great-great-grandfather, a cattle trader, took over when its former owner couldn’t pay their debts. In 1998 Peter Krammer inherited the company from his father. He now brews with his team of 9 employees around 5,550 hl of mostly unique interpretations of the classic Bock Bier Style" -- importer
