Licher Privatbrauerei Jhring-Melchior

About Licher Privatbrauerei

The Licher Privatbrauerei Jhring-Melchior is a regional quality brewery with a brewing tradition since 1854, based in the heart of Hesse. The company brews beers and beer mixed drinks such as the Natur Radler according to the German Purity Law from water, barley, hops and yeast. The brewing water comes from the springs of the Vogelsberg, the grain from the Wetterau, where it is processed into malt in regional malt houses; the hops are sourced from the Hallertau in Bavaria. Production comprises the process steps of milling, mashing, lautering, wort boiling with hop addition, fermentation with the company's own Licher yeast strain, maturation, quality inspection and filling into kegs and bottles. Regionality and short transport routes are a central part of the company's actions; the beer is distributed via regional beverage retailers.
