Hi guys,
A family friend recently bought over a beer from Germany. Strangely it doesn’t have a label on the back or a barcode. Possible origin is Bavaria.
Anyone got any ideas?
Sorry, no clue. My guess is that it either is a Homebrew/Brew-your-own sort of thing or a relabelled beer from a small brewery - they often offer this for people who want personalized beers for parties.

I agree with @jonas, it’s not even on ‘Untappd’ (or anywhere else I can find on the internet), so it’s someones home-brew or a re-badge.
The bottle looks ‘well used’.

Maybe it could be from homebrewer Jenoli Brau from Switzerland? On this website http://www.jenoli.ch/index.php/braulog-de.html there is a Atom Pils (see 2014-01). Sadly no picture of the label, but they use German language. Only 20 liter brew, so that can explain there’s nothing else to find about this one…

I would go for re-label - the label is correctly done according German regulations - the allergens on the ingredients are highlighted, it has a Best Before Date and the 0,5l are stated correctly. I don’t know any homebrewer who does this - especially as he doesn’t have to…
How did / does the crowntop look like? I guess the back-label with additional infos fell off - this can easily happen - especially with smaller breweries…

His labels look all very different - the ones that he linked have all the same layout - this looks completely different…

@BlackHaddock The well-used bottle also links into direction of a smaller brewery doing lots of contract / relabelling stuff. The small breweries re-use the bottles 60/70 times - the lager ones invest more money on good-looking bottles and replace them after 20-30 fillings…
