Camba, is a Bavarian brewery that successfully combines traditional values with innovative ideas, to brew beers of exceptional quality.
Originally as a pilot project by the brewing plant manufacturer BrauKon GmbH, but with success came demand to where now the brewery produce a variety of popular beers, from their IPA’s to traditional Helles and Weissbier’s to their ales and stouts, all brewed with a care and passion that defines the Bavarian ideals of brew making.
The name of the brewery is from an old Latin word, meaning that the bakery and brewery in a monastery were together referred to as “Camba”.
Review: 0,33l brown bottle of Camba Bavaria Hop Gun: 6.4% vol.
Found the bottles to be quite heavy for some reason, a bit strange!
This beer won Best American Brown Ale at the World Beer Awards in 2016 in the country category. According to their website.
For the appearance I get a reddish brown looking beer, with a decent sized white head. Some nice carbonation. Head maintains well.
Some light lacing left on the glass.
Decent looking beer.
A very nice smell on the nose, lots of fruit aromas. Can get a hint of grapes, orange, peach, apricots, all lovely.
Hoppy taste at the start, hitting the senses right away. Also very fruity, getting the grapes and the apricot, and other fruits, well balanced, very well balanced with the hops.
Not much in bottle, which is always a disappointment.
Yeah it is ok, tasty enough to enjoy.
A beer to sip and enjoy over a long stretch in the evening. Alcohol well hidden. I feel it’s more like a Black IPA than a real ale.
Over time I got to enjoy this beer more, a deep bodied taste that goes down well, hoppy but manageable. Most of the pleasurable tastes are at the start. Would like to return to again for a further test.
The brewery was founded by Christian Weber in 1878 and takes its name after the nearby hill and castle. Karlsberg’s current owner is Richard Weber, the great-grandson of the brewery’s founder.
I love rock music and heavy metal and It’s not that I think that ACDC are a bad band or anything but truth be told I was never into them at all. If I had to pick an Aussie band then I’d go 
Nice big creamy mouthfuls at the start, a good full bodied lager taste, nice and smooth.
The state took over the monastery in 1803 during the course of secularization that was pushed through by the German state. The government abolished the monastery but were wise enough to keep the brewery which they later sold in 1829 to Anton and Therese Wagner, a family of brewers, and the brewery has continued to be privately owned since. By then the brewery had moved to the nearby Neuhauser Strasse, due to disrepair of the monastery, and this is where they have remained since. The original location is not forgotten though, it has got converted into a restaurant with a large beer hall and is very much a place to drink and be merry, especially round the time of Oktoberfest. 
The brewery are big on the whole Oktoberfest scene, with a Augustiner-Bier booth serving people from at least 1867 onwards. Since 1987, the Augustiner brewery remains the only brewery, out of the the six Munich breweries at the Oktoberfest, that exclusively taps its beer from wooden barrels only.
Initial taste was one of a nice creamy mouthful flavour on the tongue, nice and refreshing.
Founded in 1758, and based in Bocholt, a Belgian city close to the Dutch border, Martens Brewery is an eight generation family venture that is one of the leading beer and liquor producers in the country. 
Nice large bottle of beer with a screw toppy thing. Bought from Aldi. A monastery beer, more in style than substance perhaps. 
ice enough, smooth, quaffable, just a shame that there was so few real tastes or flavours to get excited about. 
Founded in 1845 by Franz Ferdinand Joseph Wicküler in Elberfeld in North Rhine-Westphalia, West Germany. The company over time passed into the hands his son, Franz Joseph Wicküler, the only surviving son. Under Franz, the brewery modernized greatly and also became a joint stock company, both actions resulting in output rising dramatically. On 17 August 1916 Franz Joseph Wicküler died and unfortunately he left no descendants to look after all the great work he had done within the company, a transformation from a small brewery into one of the leading breweries in the North Rhine-Westphalia. 
Iconic logo of the three musketeers joining their swords together, certainly eye catching!
Malty and hoppy.
