Central Standard Distillery Taps Hofbräu for a Limited-Run Brandy

— September 22, 2022 — Lifestyle
Central Standard Craft Distillery has launched its latest beer brandy in the ‘Brewmasters Brandy Series’ in partnership with Hofbräu München. The forthcoming brandy mixes Central Standard’s North Brandy with Hofbräu’s Doppelbock seasonal special Hofbräu Delicator to create a beer brandy with hints of dark chocolate, cherry, and dried fruit. The ‘Beer Brandy’ comes in 750ml bottles, with a limited amount being released at launch.

The new Hofbräu North Brandy collaboration has something for beer and brandy fans alike,” said Jim Kanter, Chief Commercial Officer of Central Standard Distillery. “Beer lovers will appreciate the roasted caramel malt flavor and subtle beer sweetness. Brandy fans will love the bold, rich flavor. It tastes like a cozy Bavarian night.”
