Brewed according to a historical recipe from Bamberg's first documented brewery, "Brauerei Michaelsberg", for the "Bamberger Stiftsgarten" (part of the same monastery to which the Michaelsberg brewery originally belonged). The brewery was active from approximately 1122 to 1969. This beer was brewed with hops from Spalt and the "Hopfengarten Bamberg", which reintroduced hop cultivation in Bamberg. Schlenkerla used the official name "Hellerbräu" for this historical beer, because Konrad Graser, who was a brewer at the Michaelsberg brewery, later took over Hellerbräu (Schlenkerla) in 1866!
