Overview
Ratsherrn Brauerei is a Hamburg beer brand. According to its official website, it stands for Hamburger brewing tradition and began in 1951 at the Elbschloss-Brauerei. The brand presents itself as a Slow Brewer that deliberately avoids fast solutions and relies on selected raw materials, gentle processing and traditional brewing craft, letting its beers ferment and mature slowly. It describes itself as regional, fresh and independent, and as the real alternative to industrial beer. Its beers are brewed in its Hamburg city brewery, and the brand also operates its own gastronomy locations.
History
According to the official Ratsherrn website, the brand's history began in 1951 at the Elbschloss-Brauerei. The site states that for 75 years Ratsherrn has stood for Hamburger brewing tradition and a passion for good beer, and that what began in 1951 at the Elbschloss-Brauerei has developed into one of the best-known beer brands of the Hanseatic city. For its 75th brand anniversary, the company released a limited edition of its classic Pilsener, with bottle labels and six-packs in an exclusive anniversary design that deliberately uses the original 'Pilsener' lettering and the historic Ratsherrn figure from the 1950s and 1960s. The anniversary edition was made available for a short time in food retail, beverage retail, the Ratsherrn Store and its online shop, while stocks last.
