Maisel & Friends Flaming Amber: Winner beer of the 2022 Hobby Brewer Competition

12-Nov-2022 - Germany

For the fifth time, Maisel & Friends and BrauBeviale have together chosen a winner for the hobby brewer competition. The winners in 2022 are Markus Stüttgen and his team from the home brewery Bestes! in Dormagen. Together with the brewmasters from Maisel & Friends, the winners were allowed to re-brew their beer, which is available now, on the professional equipment.

The hobby brewer competition from Maisel & Friends and BrauBeviale

The competition for hobby and home brewers was launched back in 2018, and with the creative brewers from Maisel & Friends and BrauBeviale as one of the most important capital goods trade fairs for the beverage industry, two perfect partners have been found for it, who have been able to further advance the popularity and awareness of the competition in recent years. In 2022, the competition theme "American Style Amber/Red Ales" once again attracted numerous amateur brewers. The expert jury of brewmasters, beer sommeliers, journalists and amateur brewers judged 106 entries on appearance, aroma, taste, bitterness, recency and personal impression.

"Flaming Amber" won the race

Markus Stüttgen was able to bring the big win to Dormagen at the fifth hobby brewer competition. Together with Aribert Braun, Sven Lundie, Franz Josef Brauns, his team from the home brewery Bestes!, he was able to convince the top-class jury of experts with the American Amber Ale "Flaming Amber" and prevail over the strong competition. The winning team is proud of its winning beer and the result of the brewing day, which took place in Bayreuth at the end of September. The passionate hobby brewers want to build on their success and are continuing to invest in their home brewery, which is already excellently equipped with its own tasting room and a wide range of stored malt and hop varieties.

Foxy, reddish-brown, with a fine cloudiness and creamy white head - that's Flaming Amber. A fireworks display of aromas exudes the scent of red berries and fresh red apples. Notes of peach, rosehip and the scent of bread crust also rise to the nose. Wonderful aromas also appear in the mouth: the taste of strawberries is accompanied by peach and citrus. The malt also brings its full strength and brings a subtle sweetness reminiscent of caramel. This is followed by the aroma of freshly baked bread.

Since there is no BrauBeviale this year, Maisel & Friends and the winning team are hosting a release event at Holy Craft Beer Bar in Düsseldorf, near the winners' home. On November 18 at 6 p.m., the team from the house brewery Best! will present Flaming Amber together with Maisel & Friends beer sommelier Michael König.

Next year, at BrauBeviale 2023, there will again be a live presentation of previous and current winners at the trade show in front of a large audience of experts.
