Arcobräu Mooser Liesl
Brewed by Arcobräu Gräfliches Brauhaus
Style: Helles
Moss, Bavaria, Germany
Arcobräu is a brewery in the Lower Bavarian small town of Moos, in South Eastern Germany, close to the Austrian and Czech borders. The brewery has been owned by the Arco-Zinneberg family for 450 years and is one of the larger breweries in the region with annual sales regularly hitting the 20 million Euro mark.
Having a recorded history dating way back to 1567, but it was not until the merger of various family-owned breweries in 1960 that today’s company Arcobräu with its headquarters in Moos was built. In the early 1990s, Arcobräu took over a number of smaller breweries in Eastern Bavaria. From 2014 to 2016 they continued this habit of acquisitions, taking over the brewery Irlbach, and the Eschenbacher private brewery, and in cooperation with the Grünbacher brewery based in Erding. Reminds me of that gag in Only Fools and Horses about Triggers old broom which had 17 new heads and 14 new handles!!
Review: 0,5l bottle of Arcobräu Mooser Liesl: 5.3% vol.
Cool looking blue logo, woman with a pitcher on the nice brown bottle.
On pour we get a light golden yellow colour, with a small whitish head appearing. Looks not too bad at all, pretty good on the eye.
Head maintains well, some good lacing.
Colour went a bit hazy after a while, but still a looker overall.
Typical fruity aroma on the nose, very malty, lots of grains and wheat, grassy smell. Not bad.
Tastes citrusy and grainy, and very light, clean and easy to drink.
Get an awful lot in the bottle, which is always good.
Slightly hoppy, but light and not a bother, and well balanced with the malts and fruits.
An enjoyable beer without been anything amazing, very easy to drink.
Taste is sweet malts, light hop tastes, mild bitterness, all blended well to give a very well balanced beer.
Not bad, refreshing and enjoyable, clean and soft on the tongue, and smooth enough. Inoffensive but did the business. Might buy again!



Like Alexander, the beer has had to fight and battle its way to the top. Unbelievably by the mid 1990’s a nation as old and great as Greece didn’t even have one 100% authentically Greek owned beer that was produced in the country!!
On pour we get a light yellow coloured beer with a small white head.
Very malty for sure. Also getting the fresh grains and some fruit. 
Athenian Brewery SA was founded in the 1960’s by a group of Greek entrepreneurs and is a member of the Heineken Group. One of the oldest brands of beer in Greece, since 1961, and plays on its heritage with its authentic Greek name and origin proudly on display.
On pour I get a golden coloured beer with a desperately disappointing head. No head really to speak about. Some carbonation going on, but not enough to give the beer a decent head.
One of these immigrants was a Johann Ludwig Fuchs, a miner. He was the one who had started the Fuchs (Fix) activity of brewing beer in Greece. As he was from Bavaria he had the deep knowledge of what constituted good beer. Unfortunately on the way to pick up his son, who was arriving from Germany, he was robbed and killed, so that it was to be that the young Karl Johann Fuchs was in a foreign country and suddenly in charge of his fathers fledgling business at just 20 years of age!
But the good luck eventually ran out as in 1983 the company fell into bankruptcy, and the family owned business was closed down thus ending the legacy of the Fuchs family, in brewing at least.
On pour I get a very nice and very frothy white headed beer, with a golden colour.
Valaisanne, a small Swiss brewery, that produce exciting craft beers. They produce a range of beers, a Zwickelbier, a Pale Ale, and a Weizen.
Comes in a very decent looking bottle that has a well designed label and logo with pretty lettering, stands out. Bought in Coop, local supermarket.
Aroma of fruits and straw, all light though. Getting a red berry note.
