Kellerbier – Ayinger Privatbrauerei: The Unfiltered Nostalgic Beer in Honour of the Brewery's Founder

Ayinger's Kellerbier is a tribute to the good old days of Bavarian brewing — and to the brewery's founder, Johann Liebhard. As a Kellerbier / Zwickelbier at 4.9% ABV and 24 IBU, it is deliberately bottled unfiltered, allowing natural protein, yeast, and hop elements to remain fully contained within the beer. The result is a fine, yeasty cloudiness in the glass, a full-bodied, rounded body, and a pleasantly bitter taste that unmistakably reflects the cellar character of this traditional beer style. The Kellerbier thus retains its original character — natural, authentic, and with a fullness of flavour that no filtered beer could ever achieve.

What makes Ayinger Kellerbier so special is its honesty: nothing is filtered away, nothing smoothed over, nothing concealed. The natural yeast not only contributes flavour but also delivers valuable vitamins and minerals — a genuine nutritional contribution, as earlier generations well appreciated. A beer for those who seek the original: gently hazy, pleasantly bitter, and so drinkable that it does full justice to its status as one of the great old Bavarian beer specialties.
