Description
Einbecker Ur-Bock - "Without Einbeck, there'd be no
such thing as bock beer."
"The best drink known to man is called Einbecker Beer
."
The great German reformer Martin Luther praised the "Ainpöcksche
Bier" (old German for Einbecker Beer) with these words
in front of the Worms Reichstag in 1521.
About 150 years before Luther's speech in Worms, beer trade
had already become the most important economic factor for
the city of Einbeck. The oldest existing receipt for the
sale of Einbecker beer dates back to April 28, 1378 and
documents the sale of two tons of beer to the city of Celle.

BBC » I bought
this beer in Germany in 1989 and now I can't quite recall
the nuances of its flavour.
