Pinkus Organic

Organic Homebrews

Pinkus beers are churned out by the Pinkus Muller brewery, which is named for Pinkus Muller, “the singing brewer,” a chap who sang in the Munich Opera and found time to run the brewery that his forebears had founded back in 1816.

At that time, Johannes Muller and his wife Friederika Cramer started the brewery and a bakery. Since their arrival there have been 150 breweries in Munster. Only Pinkus remains.

Today, the fifth and sixth generation of the family operate the famous Pinkus-Muller Pub/Brewery. So dedicated to quality is Pinkus, that they are the world’s first brewery to brew with only organically grown barley malt and whole hop blossoms. Obviously,a huge selling point is that they are organic through and through. No chemicals or funny stuff is used anywhere throughout the brewing process nor in the farming of the constituent materials (e.g., the grains, hops). 

Pinkus Brewery is certified organic by USDA-accredited ABCERT GmbH.

Cured ham, sweetbreads, lasagna, as an aperitif with a dash of flavored syrup (raspberry, lime or cherry), light breads, croissants, pizza, corn tortillas. Serve in thin, delicate, straight glasses garnished with fresh fruit.

Organic Hefe-Weizen

Wheat beer is a Bavarian specialty. In the 16th century, the Electors of Bavaria declared beer made from wheat to be a monopoly of the state, which remained for centuries.

Very light in body and color. Crisp, dry, spritzy, and refreshing unfiltered beer. Clean ale-yeast aroma and flavor, without the characteristic yeasty spiciness of a Bavarian wheat beer.

Smoked trout salad; schnitzel, choucroute garni (sausages, ham and bacon served over sauerkraut), spinach salads with boiled shrimp, gazpacho. Serve in tall vase-shaped glass garnished with a thin slice of lemon.
