Bayreuther Urstoff is a strong, pale full beer from the Bayreuth Brewery, brewed according to a recipe from the brewery's founding years and still representing the origin of the Bayreuth brewhouse today. It has always been considered the brewmaster's favorite beer and is brewed stronger than Bayreuther Hell, with 5.6% ABV, an original gravity of 12.8 °P, and 19 IBU. Brewed strictly according to the Bavarian Purity Law from water, barley malt, Hallertau aroma and bitter hops, and yeast, it shines golden yellow with a stable, white foam crown. The first sip convinces with a full-bodied malt note, rounded malt sweetness with light caramel hints, and fine-spicy herbal hop notes, while the balanced, mild bitterness ensures a smooth drinking flow with a robust character. Urstoff is served in the Willibecher glass and pairs well with roast pork, game dishes, bratwurst, snack platters, and Obazda. Bottled in a 0.5-liter reusable bottle, it contains gluten-containing grains.
