Famous German beer Holsten

Each nation has its own symbol, something that everyone around it associates with. For Ukrainians, this is fat, for Belarusians - potatoes, and for Germans - Holsten beer.

National traditions

In Germany, in ancient times, beer was the most beloved and respected drink. It was cooked in almost every house. The secrets of mastery have been passed down from generation to generation, and some of them have survived. Each individual locality had its own favorite varieties, which over time became a kind of visiting card of a particular federal region. Among the residents of Hamburg these days, Holsten beer is the most popular. It was first prepared in 1879 at a brewery of the same name. Many years have passed since then, but to this day the same beer is brewed at Holsten-Brauerei AG. But now this is not just products, but the famous drink, which is exported in large quantities abroad. Years passed. The company was expanding, and gradually in other countries began to appear factories, which also brewed Holsten beer. It was made under license and sold in the domestic market. Among numerous manufacturers, Russia is also listed.

Product Detail

At the trading counters , Holsten beer compares favorably with similar products from other manufacturers. It is impossible not to recognize or confuse. After all, this is a fairly well-known brand. And its name was not taken by chance. In ancient times of the Middle Ages, members of one of the many Germanic tribes christened themselves so . Later, one of the historical areas of the German state was named after Holstein. To emphasize their importance and respect for the memory of their ancestors, the company management decided to develop a special label for their products and place a symbol of their native land on it in the very center. They became the image of a medieval knight. He proudly sits on a horse with a sword in his hand and easily restrains an animal that stands on its hind legs. In the second hand, the knight holds a shield, which shows the initial letter of the name of the product. The Germans always had a passion for heraldry. In addition, a self-confident warrior symbolizes the desire to win and not give in to obstacles.

True leader

A huge number of foam drink lovers around the world recognize German beer as one of the best. For Germany, this product is truly a national treasure. The Germans are very kind to everything related to beer. They sacredly honor the law on brewing rules, which was adopted in the 15th century. According to this legislative act, nothing can be present in the finished product except water, malt and hops. No extraneous additives and especially alcohol-containing components. This is a prerequisite to brewing Germany to this day. Each of their products is a true work of art and an example of veneration of ancient traditions. And given that German beer has more than five thousand different types, one can only wonder how a variety of components can be achieved from a rather meager set of components and strict rules regarding technology.

Views from

In our country there are tens of thousands of people who are very respected and love Holsten beer. Reviews of many of them emphasize the unique characteristics and absolute quality of the drink. This primarily concerns the Holsten Pilsner. This brand of light beer with an alcohol content ranging from 4.5 to 4.8 percent is considered the best of the entire assortment of the world famous corporation. The fragrant drink of golden color with a pleasant characteristic taste and light bitterness is admired by everyone who had a chance to try it. True, some Russian tasters argue that the original product is much better and markedly different from what some of our breweries produce under license. In addition, a new product called Holsten Premium has recently appeared on the trading shelves. Strange, but there is no such beer in the product line of the famous brand. Perhaps this is a free interpretation of Russian experts. Then it will already be the beer of Russia, not Germany.

Wealth taste

Germany mainly produces light beer. Brands of products differ among themselves by the cooking technology and, of course, by the appearance of the goods. Each brand has special recipes that have been created for decades. In addition, any brand has different types of beer. The famous Holsten has the following types.

All drinks are very different, and each of them is good in its own way. As a rule, people make their own choices based on the characteristics indicated on the labels and personal experience. In this matter, tips are not needed. No one can make a person fall in love with a particular product. Yes, this, in principle, is not necessary. Over the years, with the necessary knowledge, the result of the choice itself becomes obvious. Hamburg residents have already made their decision on this issue.

On guard of health

Holsten-Brauerei AG, like many other well-known corporations, produces Alkoholfrei non-alcoholic light beer. It should be noted that the title itself already has some inaccuracy. The fact is that beer is a product in which alcohol cannot be completely absent. It is contained, but in smaller quantities (0.2-1.5%). The initial composition of the components remains the same, and only the production technology changes. To prepare such a product, several options are used. For example, yeast strains that do not ultimately lead to the formation of maltose can be used for the fermentation process. But it turns into alcohol. In addition, there is a "membrane" method, which is based on the use of the dialysis reaction. A product prepared using this technology best retains the taste characteristics of beer. And the lack of alcohol makes the finished product less caloric, which is very important for humans (especially recently).
