More information about Brewery Faust Emigrant Beer 1849 In the 19th century, countless Germans followed the American Dream and undertook the arduous journey to the land of opportunity. Among them was August Krug, the son of the former owner of the Faust brewery. To make the long crossing a little more pleasant, August’s father Georg Anton Krug brewed him a beer that would last a long time thanks to its extra-high alcohol content and extra portion of hops. As a tribute to the adventurer and his loyal father, Brauhaus Faust created the Emigrant Beer 1849. In order to brew the beer as authentically as possible, the brewers used Georg’s notes for their recipe. Today, this beer is brewed in Miltenberg according to the old recipe and with German and American hops. The emigrant beer flows into the glass in a deep brown mahogany color and enchants with ruby red light reflections when the sun hits the beer. Long-lasting, fine foam crowns the beer and exudes seductive aromas of tropical fruits and tart, floral hops. Citrus, mango, papaya and raisins tickle the nose, joined by a nice fresh breeze of green hops. On the tongue, fruity notes of mango, grapefruit, passion fruit, lychee, elderflower and juniper combine with a complex hop bitterness to create a very special taste experience. Thanks to its intense levels of flavor and the abundance of hops, Auswandererbier 1849 is not an uncomplicated after-work beer for occasional drinkers, but rather a sophisticated pleasure for special moments. We raise our glasses to the two forefathers of this delicious beer – cheers to August and Georg Anton Krug!
