Schlossbrauerei Reuth

Schlossbrauerei Reuth is a traditional Bavarian castle brewery based in Reuth bei Erbendorf, in the Upper Palatinate region of Bavaria, Germany. It brews the Reuther range of beers using traditional recipes and, as stated on its official website, according to the Bavarian Purity Law (Reinheitsgebot) of 1516. The brewery produces a portfolio of currently eleven different beer varieties, made from carefully selected raw materials sourced exclusively from regional producers. Its beers have been recognized for high quality by the German Agricultural Society (DLG) for many years, and have repeatedly received the DLG's highest award, the Prize of the Best in Gold. A distinctive feature of the brewery is its own mineral water source, called Artesia, which springs from a granite layer at a depth of 60 metres in the castle park. According to the brewery, this water is over 3,000 years old, energetic, natural and uncontaminated, and meets the highest requirements for mineral water; it has received numerous DLG awards as well as certification from "Wasser und Salz". This soft water is used as brewing water for all Reuther beers and is also marketed as a mineral water product. The brewery has also operated a wood-chip heating system for more than 20 years, an early ecological heating choice. The brewery's history reaches back to the mid-15th century, when the castle brewery of Reuth was founded and initially produced beer only for Reuth Castle. Only in the 18th century did it begin producing beer for other customers; in 1742 it supplied three local inns for the first time. Originally the castle brewery produced only Reuther Lager. Today the range includes beers, lemonades, juices and shandies (Schorle). Reuther beer has been a protected geographical indication (PGI) of the European Union since 1998, and Schloßbrauerei Reuth is the only brewery authorized to brew beer under that name. The product range includes Reuther Zoigl, Reuther Winter Spezial Trunk, Reuther Bock, Reuther Cola + Bier, Reuther Lager, Reuther Landbier, Reuther leichtes Weißbier, Reuther Öko Lager, Reuther Schloßpils, Reuther Weißbier, Reuther Radler, Reuther Horrido and Wiggerl Unser Hoamatbräu. The brewery remains an active, privately held Bavarian brewing operation, selling its beers regionally and offering information, ordering and contact services through its official website.
