The Schlenkerla is situated in the UNESCO world heritage city Bamberg in Bavaria, Germany. First mentioned in the year 1405, it has been the source of the classic smoked beer "Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier" for centuries. Following the most ancient brewing and malting traditions, selected barley is malted at the brewery and kilned over a fire of beechwood logs. The smoked malt, finest Bavarian hops and pure water are the only ingredients of this unique beer. Original Schlenkerla Smokebeer is a dark, bottom fermented beer with an intense smoky aroma and flavour. As one of the last traditionally made smoked beers, Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier is a passenger in the "Ark of Taste" by Slow Food®.
