Dortmunder Export (Dortmunder)
Produced by Brinkhoff's Brewery
Dortmunder Export, or Dortmunder, is a pale lager from the city of Dortmund in Germany. Originally brewed by Dortmunder Union in 1873, this soft[clarification needed] pilsner style beer became very popular with industrial workers, and was responsible for Dortmunder Union becoming Germany's largest brewery and Dortmund having the highest concentration of breweries in Germany.
