Hofmeister is a pale lager with 5% alcohol by volume distributed in Great Britain.
In 2007, Heineken International and Carlsberg jointly acquired Scottish & Newcastle, including the Hofmeister brand.
[7][8] Since 2016, Hofmeister has been brewed by Schweiger, a German brewery located in Markt Schwaben near the Ebersberger Forest in Bavaria.
[9] Hofmeister uses spring water from Schweiger's well, as well as locally grown barley and hops from the Hallertau region.
The beer is slow brewed and light golden blonde in colour, with low carbonation.
