Brewmaster Edition #104 - The Catcher in the Rye - November 2026

Brewmaster Edition by Florian Schmitt.

A deep black, full-bodied stout with a distinctive note: Rye malt gives this beer a special spice and depth.

Inspired by the wild brewing experiments during university days – back then in a 20-liter Weck pot and plastic fermentation buckets – this beer is a homage to the passion for craft brewing and literary inspiration.

What Makes the Recipe Special

- Rye malt dominates with crisp, spicy notes
- Full-bodied, creamy body with a subtle bitterness
- Long, warm finish – perfect for the dark season
- Fine, creamy foam that rounds off the aroma

Taste & Character

Dark, complex, and balanced: The rye note gives the stout a unique depth, while the creamy texture and gentle bitterness ensure a harmonious drinking experience. A beer that tells stories – just like our brewmaster's favorite book, "The Catcher in the Rye", which gives it its name.
