A spicy premium beer that is the pride of the DAB brewery. It was born by accident, because when the brewery started exporting beer to the farthest corners of the planet, they brewed a stronger and heavily hopped beer that was to be diluted with water at the final destination. However, they soon discovered that the trading partners did not dilute the beer in the destination countries and customers loved the extra hoppy taste of this beer. This laid the foundations for the world-famous Dortmunder Export beer style. It is a light, bottom-fermented pale lager that is harmoniously balanced, smooth, with pleasant hop and malt notes. More

About the brewery:
Dortmunder Actien Brauerei or DAB is the last remaining large brewery in Dortmund, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. The brewery was founded in 1868 by three entrepreneurs as "Bierbrauerei Herberz & Co" and renamed "Dortmunder Actien Brauerei" just 4 years later. At that time, coal mines were thriving in the region and many breweries were competing for the ever-growing clientele. The most prestigious beer was the Bavarian-style Dunkel, but the miners apparently preferred the local Golden Helles (later called Dortmunder Export), which had its own character due to the high sulphur content of the Dortmund water. The brewing of pilsner-type beer was almost a pioneering act in Dortmund. Dortmund is famous for its own style of beer. DAB was thus one of the few pioneers of a trend that would later dominate the entire market. Now the brewery belongs to the Radeberger Gruppe. Interestingly, DAB beer was the favourite beer of Erich Honecker, the former leader of East Germany.
