BLACK FOREST BREW HAUS - A 200 YEAR TRADITION

Beer has been a popular beverage since the earliest civilizations. It originated in ancient Mesopotamia, Egypt and Greece. The fine art of brewing, however, reached maturity in Europe of the Middle Ages. The finest beers have their origins in Germany. First brewed in homes and monasteries, German beers later became a popular commercial product. In order to insure consistency and quality, Duke Henry IV of Bavaria enacted the famous Reinheitsgebot, or purity law in 1516. It was the world's first regulation for food production and is still valid today. Reinheitsgbot specified that only hops, yeast, malt, and water can be used to make beer - nothing else. There are no additives, preservatives, or spices allowed. Reinheitsgbot set the standard for the quality of German Beer that has been unequaled in half a millennium. Privatbrauerei Hoepfner of Karlsruhe, Germany has been brewing in this spirit since 1798 and shares its knowledge and tradition with the Black Forest Brew Haus including materials, recipes, equipment, and even the brewmaster!
