MOUNTAIN HUB DISTILLERS

No! Or rather yes – you just can’t call it ‘gin’! But they do have one thing in common: the best quality wheat and pure water. In order to save 5,300 litres of Airbräu beer from being wasted during lockdown, processing it using gin-making techniques was considered a legitimate cause. And so something completely new was created: the spirits of Mountain Hub Distillers.

4,000 litres of exquisite Airbräu beer made their way to Langenpreising to the Edelobstbrennerei Huber distillery where it was distilled using gin-making techniques. All refined with high-quality botanicals and then distilled again. This unique fine brandy – the Infused Bierbrand – is then bottled by hand, ready for sampling. You can try it for yourself at the Mountain Hub Restaurants, at the bar of the Hilton Munich Airport or at the Airbräu brewery at Munich airport. The limited edition distillate comes in bottles of 500 ml and can also be purchased to enjoy at home or as an exclusive souvenir of your trip to Munich.

In addition to the Airbräu lager beer, there were also 1,300 liters of Aviator strong beer in the tanks of the Airbräu brewery. 500 liters of this was distilled five times and stored in Schwangau for 28 months to mature, creating a unique and intense flavor. Due to the long aging period and repeated distillation of the beer, this beer spirit has a distinctive character.

SO CLOSE TO THE ANGELS. The other 800 liters of it were distilled in Schwangau and bottled in a French oak barrel with bourbon coating. This barrel rested for 28 months on the Tegelberg at an altitude of 1,700 meters with a view of Neuschwanstein Castle. The harsh mountain climate created a characteristic, intense beer spirit with a unique taste. Since the Angels Share on the Tegelberg is very high, our spirit was stored there to create a strong and aromatic flavor.
