Description
Das Leben ist Schon-Life is beautiful. This is the motto of Duckstein beer, a rare specialty brew from Germany which has recently become available in the United States. Certainly, life is beautiful for those who taste this delicious, complex, and idiosyncratic German brew produced following a recipe that is more than 500 years old. In 1987, Holsten’s Feldschlossen subsidiary revived this classic beer.

Duckstein, according to its maker Holsten, is an die alten Braumethoden angelehnten or brewed in the old style. This usually means ale fermentation and aging, but according to Holsten Duckstein is lagered. This is a Rotblondes Oberbrau, or a red-blond top beer, and it’s ingredients are only the finest: select dark malts, Noble Hallertau hops, and the local hard water that gives Duckstein its firm body. In addition, the beer is aged upon special wood chips that add to its complexity.

Originally, Duckstein was brewed in Königslutter am Elm, and is said to have been extremely popular in the court of Frederick the Great over 260 years ago. Frederick was a consummate admirer of French culture, but it seems in the great beer vs. wine debate he sided with the drink of his native land.
