Cellar beer gets its name from history, as the one beer offered to customers directly from the storage cellar. This beer is untreated, unfiltered beer with yeast left in, just as before the introduction of filtration in the 19th Century.
This beer is a great lunchtime drink, light floral and faintly yeasty. Matt gold in colour. Alc. 5.5% by volume, Unfiltered lager beer, cloudy, golden orange colour, and quite hoppy.
The history of Munich's Hacker-Pschorr goes all the way back to 1417 and even plays a leading role in the foundation of Oktoberfest, when Prince Ludwig I of Bavaria asked them to brew a special beer for his Wedding in 1810. That party became the annual celebration, and the festival is still held on land donated by Joseph Pschorr who was brewmaster at the time.
