The beer brands of the “Alt Ohligs” and “Grä­f­ra­ther Klos­ter­bräu” bre­we­ries have been awar­ded the Qua­li­ty Mark of the renow­ned Coope­ra­ti­ve Socie­ty of Bre­we­ries GmbH & Co.

Only the privately-brewed pre­mi­um beers of the “Brau­ring” mem­ber bre­we­ries are awar­ded the “Brau­ring” Qua­li­ty Mark, after a tho­rough preli­mi­na­ry review and in accordance with mutual­ly agreed gui­de­li­nes.

This again con­firms the high qua­li­ty of the beers ser­ved at “Alt Ohligs” and the “Grä­f­ra­ther Klos­ter­bräu”. This beer is bre­wed in accordance with Ger­man Puri­ty Law exclu­si­ve­ly for the cate­ring busi­ness of the “Grä­f­ra­ther Hof GmbH” and is ser­ved with state-of- the-art beer-cooling tech­no­lo­gy in a spe­cial­ly desi­gned glass.

It is pro­du­ced without pre­ser­va­ti­ves and thus is cate­go­ri­zed as a “Frisch­bier”, or green beer.

Becau­se of the gre­at demand, the beer was addi­tio­nal­ly sold in specially-produced 10 l con­tai­ners. All cus­to­mers can now purcha­se a coo­led 10 l mini-barrel at an intro­duc­to­ry pri­ce of only €27.50 (plus €30.00 depo­sit) in both bre­we­ries.
