It is hops, which gives the beer its spiciness. Hops, which is called the "green gold of the brewers", gives the beer its noble bitterness and the typical hop bouquet, stabilises the beer foam and takes a positive effect on the storage life of the beer through its reducing germ properties. The calming effect of hops has been known for years. Some even speak of a medical plant. The hops for the Fohrenburger beer specialities comes from the best production areas Hallertau and Tettnang at the Lake of Constance.
Did you know that monks recognised the preserving effect of hops at an early stage? They added it to the wort during the brewing process, which prevented the beer from early deterioration.
