Shut up about Barclay Perkins - Colbitzer beers
Visit the Shut up about Barclay Perkins site
Here’s another DDR brewery and its beers. This is so much fun. A way of using all those DDR labels I recently picked up.
Colbitz is in Sachsen-Anhalt, about 10 km North of Magdeburg. The brewery was founded as the Colbitzer Brauerei in 1879 by Friedrich-Christoph Ritter. In 1959 it was partially nationalised and in 1972 fully nationalised. In 1991 it was returned to the family that formerly owned it. The brewery is still active.
There’s a little on their website about the beers brewed in the late 19th-century. I’m pretty sure they’ve got the top- and bottom-fermented beers the wrong way around. It reckons these were top-fermented: helles Lagerbier, Doppelmärzen, Doppelmärzen-Bock and Malzbier. And these bottom-fermented: Weißbier and Braunbier “Puparsch-Knall”.
Jumping forwards more than 100 years, this is their current beer range:

Next are their veers from the DDR period, in the form of labels. Unsurprisingly, Bok and Pilsner are constants:
