## About

Hofmeister is back – the same name but a very different beer. If you remember us from the 80’s, today’s Hofmeister might well surprise you. Following a relaunch in 2017, Hofmeister now makes genuine Helles lager that’s slow-brewed in heart of Bavaria by a 4th generation family brewery. 

Crafted with all the skill and passion you’d expect from a German beer, we use only three ingredients - natural mineral water, locally grown barley and Hallertau hops. 

Don’t just take our word for it. Our Helles lager was crowned ‘World’s Best Lager’ at the last IWSC Beer Awards. It’s also winner of multiple awards including double gold at the European Beer Challenge and gold at the International Beer Challenge.
