Millpond Brewing - Dunkes Bier Ur-Pils

Crisp, refreshing light-bodied pils with crackery malt and an elegant, floral-herbal hop character. Dunkes Bier is a German Style Pilsner made from the authentic, 188-years old, Schönberger family recipe from Millstadt’s Sister City, Gross-Bieberau, Germany founded in 787. In their ancient Odenwälder dialect, “Dunkes” is a friendly word for a person from Gross-Bieberau. Schönberger bierbraurie was founded in 1835 but closed it many years ago. We named this beer in honor of that deep tradition as Millstadt was founded in 1836 about the time ancestors of many current Millstadt residents immigrated here from Gross-Bieberau. We brew Dunkes Bier to preserve the cultural bier heritage of Gross-Bieberau and honor our own ancestry.
