More information about Franken Hemp
Everyone is talking about hemp. As a pioneer in beer culture, I naturally want to get involved, which is why I am proud to present my very first hemp beer - the green fairy from Upper Franconia!
Ganja alarm at the Hertl brewery!
Although hops and hemp come from the same plant family and share a certain intoxicating effect, I can't say that cannabis has been one of my areas of expertise so far. For this reason, I teamed up with the experts from the Grasshopper Crew from Kronach and HempAge from Adelsdorf.
I was given a comprehensive introduction to the subject and provided with a load of flowers from the Grasshopper's industrial hemp. With the green wonder in my luggage, I returned to the brewhouse, where the real magic happened.
I made a fine brew from hand-picked ingredients, which was then stuffed with the precious flowers in the lager cellar. This gave the beer the opportunity to absorb the hemp aroma in all its facets. The end result is an unconventional drink that should be fun for hopheads and potheads alike.

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...
