Our “Little Monk” is the novice under the old-established brewing specialities of the Alpirsbacher Klosterbräu. A soft malty aroma and the radiant gold-yellow colour give evidence to its sunny temperament.

Its youthful liveliness is its excuse for not having to bow to dis- ciplinary rules - the uncomplicated Kleiner Mönch can there- fore be drunk straight from the bottle - and still remain socially acceptable.

Kleiner MönchSOFT MALTY AROMA WITH THE RADIANT GOLD-YELLOW COLOUR.

Our “Little Monk” is the novice under the old-established brew-ing specialities of the Alpirsbacher Klosterbräu. A soft malty aroma and the radiant gold-yellow colour give evidence to its sunny temperament. The Kleiner Mönch owes its rounded body not only to the selected caramel malt ingredients and the high original wort gravity; it is in particular the finely balanced formula and a special brewing method which gives the Kleiner Mönch its bubbly light-heartedness.

Its youthful liveliness is its excuse for not having to bow to dis-ciplinary rules - the uncomplicated Kleiner Mönch can there-fore be drunk straight from the bottle - and still remain socially acceptable.

Whether enjoyed at jaunty summer parties or just every day – the Kleiner Mönch makes its grand appearance at any event.
