Seven Characteristics of German beer

1. "Pure Beer Law"-the legal guarantee of the pure quality of German beer. In 1516, the Grand Duke Wilhelm IV of Bavaria promulgated the "Pure Beer Law", which clearly stipulated that only malt, water, hops and yeast can be used to produce beer, and other ingredients (such as rice, corn, starch, etc.) are banned, guaranteeing the pure quality of Germany beer. German beer is carefully brewed in strict accordance with the requirements of the "Pure Beer Law". The Germans' strict requirements on raw materials and their exquisite brewing techniques ensured the pure taste to the greatest extent, and are rich in vitamins, minerals, proteins, amino acids and anti-aging nucleic acids. Its low alcohol content and high carbon dioxide also help to relax the body, at the same time it can flush out harmful sodium chloride and cleanse the kidneys. The German "Pure Beer Law" of 1516 is the oldest food legal document in human history, and it is also the beer brewing law that Germany has been observing since the 16th century until now. It is the guarantee of the peak quality of German beer. This is why the famous international imported German beer tastes pure. 

2. Hops-the most important bitter nutrient in beer. German beer has a strong taste, which is a direct manifestation of rich materials. "Bitter taste" comes from hops, which has the function of anti-cancer, diuretic and detoxification. Some beer adds rice, corn and even starch to the brewing ingredients to dilute the bitter taste of hops, but we can't taste the original healthy beer.

 

3. Wort-beer can be divided into different types according to the concentration of the wort:

Low-concentration type: the concentration of wort is 6°～8° (Bahrain Brix meter), the alcohol content is about 2%, and it can be used as a refreshing drink in summer. Disadvantages are poor stability and short storage time;

Medium-concentration type: wort concentration is 10°～12°, 12 degrees is the most common, and the alcohol content is about 3.5%. It is the main variety of beer production in China. 

High-concentration type: the concentration of wort is 13°-20°, and the alcohol content is 4%-5%. The wort concentration of most German beer is medium to high, that is, the wort concentration is above 12 degrees. Beer with high wort concentration has a long production cycle, good stability, rich taste, round mouthfeel, and richer protein, various vitamins, amino acids and other nutrients. This beer has a high content of wort, a long production cycle, good stability, a strong taste and a round taste. It is the main type of beer produced in Germany.

 

4. High cost-The reason why premium German beer is so wonderful is that the brewery takes the taste and health of the drinker as the starting point of the craft. Because of this, high-end German beer is willing to spend a high cost to use high-standard processes, and even the single-process cost of the microbial clarification process exceeds the full price of some low-priced beer, which shows the degree of its pursuit of quality. German beer uses costly microbiological clarification technology, and absolutely does not use harmful chemical clarification aids,such as formaldehyde, nitrite, and radioactive substances containing heavy metals and radium .Therefore, drinking German beer will not cause overnight headaches and dry throat the next morning.

 

 

5. The strong aroma of malt and "Belgian Lace" German beer’s foam is white, delicate and soft. The long-lasting foam can form crown-like bulges above the mouth of the cup. When the foam gradually drops, it will leave a circle of white foam marks on the wall of the cup, which is called "Belgian Lace". These beautiful enjoyments are very attractive for those who love beer. The foam lasts for about 2-4 minutes. The more obvious the “Belgian Lace", the better the quality of the beer.

 

6. German-made patented packaging and using method -Unique 5 liter party packaging, only one-time use, is a German patented invention.Using vacuum canning technology to maximize the flavor of beer and bring freshness Drinking experience.

Opening method: Pull out the red faucet at the bottom of the barrel, and then rotate it 90 degrees counterclockwise, and the beer can flow out. At the same time, please turn the red deflation knob on the top of the wine barrel counterclockwise to remove the vacuum and the wine will flow. That becomes smoother. When you stop drinking, operate the faucet and vent valve in the opposite direction to seal it.

 

7. Optimum drinking temperature-Pilsner beer or yellow beer: 9°C; wheat white beer or dark beer: 10-12°C; In summer, because the beer heats up faster,the temperature should be slightly lower by 3-4°C than the above temperature. Following the optimal drinking temperature, you can taste the original flavor of German beer. At this time, the feature of rich foam and the aroma characteristics can be fully utilized. The taste is the most wonderful.

Note: German beer is not as tasty as it gets cooler, especially for beer of the same type as EKU wheat white, the wonderful fruity aroma and honey aroma in the beer will be reduced when the temperature is too low.
