Hofmeister Brewing Company was relaunched in 2017 by co-founders and friends, Richard Longhurst and Spencer Chambers. Now British owned and proudly independent, its signature beer, Hofmeister Helles, is an authentic imported Bavarian lager that’s slow brewed and cold fermented in the heart of Bavaria. Hofmeister Helles is made according to the ancient Reinheitsgebot German beer purity law by a fourth generation family brewery who are one of only four certified slow brewers in this historical brewing region. Using only three local ingredients; pure mineral water, locally grown barley and Hallertau Hops, Hofmeister beer is laagered slower at zero degrees for a fresh, crisp, Helles lager with an ABV of 5%. Hofmeister Helles is internationally awarded and the current holder of IWSC World’s Best Lager and double gold at the European Beer Challenge. Ingredients, process, and integrity has helped to foster a rapidly growing presence across independent high-end pubs, bars, hotels and restaurants who demand a premium lager offering, including Harrods and the Connaught Hotel.
