Leipzig
Leipzig is a historic beer-brewing center in Saxony, Germany, known for its unique Gose beer style - a tart, wheat-based beer traditionally brewed with salt and coriander. The brewing tradition in Leipzig dates back to the 10th century, but the region's signature Gose beer nearly disappeared after WWII before experiencing a revival in recent decades. Notable local breweries include Bayerischer Bahnhof, which has been instrumental in reviving the Gose tradition, and Leipziger Gose Brewery.
