SEEK & FIND YOUR FAVOURITE BEER

What makes a beer a good one? The most obvious though appropriate answer really is: When it’s delicious! But beer is a matter of taste and will always be and so everyone has to find his own favorite - this often depends on regional habits and initial drinking experiences. Therefore, we at Volta Bräu plead for diversity: On our taps we have up to 7 different home-brewed beers at a time ready for you to taste. Cheers.

LAGER

First base

  • bottom-fermented
  • alcohol content 4.8%
  • 16 IBU | 8 EBC
  • hops: Saazer
  • malt: Carapils, Munich II, Carahell

Our Flagship: The Lager combines undertones of malt sweetness with a subtle floral hop aroma from Tettnanger Hops. It is light bodied and yet full in flavour. This beer with a refreshing finish is easy to drink and good companion for every opportunity.

WHITE IPA

FOLLOW THE WHITE RABBIT

  • top-fermented
  • alcohol content 5.3%
  • 50 IBU | 4 EBC
  • hops: Simcoe, Amarillo, Mosaic & Cascade
  • malt: Pilsener, Carahell, Wheat, Wheatflakes

Smooth and fruity like a wheat beer & exotically bitter like an American IPA: That's basically all we want to say about it. Except that: It's become a real awesome one!

PALE ALE

KALEIDOSKOP

  • top-fermented
  • alcohol content 5.9%
  • 33 IBU | 11 EBC
  • hops: Centennial, Citra
  • malt: Pale Ale, Münchner, Carahell

Brewed according to the American model, our Kaleidoscope comes across as fruity and light despite 5.9% alcohol. The two hop varieties Citra and Centennial fire off a veritable firework of flavors. Basically a wild peacock's wheel in the glass.

AMBER

SWISS ALE

  • top-fermented
  • alcohol content 4.7%
  • 24 IBU | 30 EBC
  • hops: Hallertauer Blanc, Saazer, Cascade
  • malt: Pilsner, Pale Ale, Münchner, Cara Amber, Caramunch, Carafarb, Meladoinin

Light malt body, caramel sweetness & stormy hop bitterness. Nevertheless light and carefree, a beer for every season and every hour.

STOUT

Alkemia

  • top-fermented
  • alcohol content 7.4%
  • 41 IBU | 125 EBC
  • hops: Chinook, Columbus, Fuggles
  • malt: Pale Ale, Münchner, Cara Amber, Carafarb2, Chocolatemalz, Weizen, Weizen-Rostmalz, Bisquit, Weizenflocken

We don't know whether the ancient alchemists brewed stout. But they would certainly have enjoyed our various malts.

WHEAT

SUMMER WHEAT

  • top-fermented
  • alcohol content 4.8%
  • 18 IBU | 4 EBC
  • hops: Perle & Tettnang
  • malt: Pilsner, Wheat, Cara Hell & Wheat flakes

No wheat from the Munich beer garden, but directly from Volta Bräu, fresh, fruity and nice hazy a bit like summer and sun in a glass. For all undecided the answer to the question of whether German or Belgian wheat.

 

SCOTCH ALE

DUDELSACK

  • top-fermented
  • alcohol content 6.7%
  • 24.7 IBU | 45 EBC
  • hops: Fuggles
  • malt: Pale Ale, Caraamber, Caramunich, Carafa Typ 2, Melanoidin, Bisquit malt

The recipe for this beer was not created in the Scottish Highlands. But with a little imagination, it transports you to a cozy cottage with a crackling fireplace. The selected hops provide a woody, herbal note and the many malts create a robust, smoky body.
