The story behind Le Chauffeur
Le Chauffeur is the alcohol-free IPA from Brauhaus Nittenau in Bavaria, a brewery first recorded in 1762 as a communal brewhouse; its own photovoltaic system covers 94% of its energy needs, BeerTasting says. It won gold in the non-alcoholic ale category at the European Beer Star in 2019, the brewer says, and the organiser’s winners list confirms it.
Nittenauer gives it 0.41% ABV (BeerTasting lists 0.38%), 8.2°P and 45 IBU, brewed from water, barley malt, hops and yeast; BeerTasting describes an amber-copper beer with hop aromas of tropical fruit, citrus and a light floral note.
Serve cold and let the hops do the talking. The brewery’s story is on our Nittenauer hub, and the German competition in the round-up.
