More information about Brewer Carsten Kveik Fake Lager
At Braumanufaktur Hertl, there is no distinction between organic and beer family: I count my parents and grandparents as family just as much as my employees, apprentices and brewers. The latest addition to my crazy extended family is Carsten Mümmler. He is the head brewer at our new brewery in Schnaid and will of course be joining the Hertl family with his own beer.
I have come up with a very clever beer for this excellent brewer: his beer equivalent is a so-called fake lager. The lager in sheep's clothing is fermented with a top-fermented Norwegian yeast called Kveik and contains a real surprise.
Despite the top-fermented brewing temperatures, the beer ends up tasting like a fruity, extremely drinkable lager.
To give it a special hop kick, I added an extra portion of Citra hops to this unusual beer. By dry hopping with this aromatic hop variety, the beer gains fruitiness without becoming too bitter.
Our Kveik Fake Lager Brauer Carsten is a real fruit explosion and goes perfectly with our Carsten!

Brewery Hertl
Brewmaster with heart and soul in the smallest brewery in Franconia - David Hertl is currently Germany's youngest brewmaster and beer sommelier, as well as a budding wine sommelier. At the age of 22, he completed his master craftsman training before subsequently supplementing his further training as a beer sommelier on a part-time basis. In 2013, he went into business for himself and opened his own brewery, Braumanufaktur. He discovered his passionate interest in brewing as a teenager. His first beer experiments in his mother's kitchen led to the former pigsty on his parents' farm being converted into a miniature brewery. Today, the charismatic young brewer already produces around 80 hectoliters of the finest beer on 80 square meters, and the trend is rising: a new brewhouse and further equipment are to boost production strongly, as demand for David Hertl's barley juice specialties...
