More details
Glazovsky Distillery is one of the oldest enterprises in Udmurtia - in 2017 it will turn 117 years old. Founded in 1900, it is now called OAO Glazovsky Distillery. Located in the city of Glazov (Udmurt Republic); beer ("non-core" product) at the factory began to be brewed in 1998. The company produces about 30 types of alcoholic beverages, the main of which are vodka, tinctures, balms, liquors and aperitifs. Glazovsky distillery today is known as a fully computerized modern enterprise, equipped with the most advanced highly efficient equipment.
Beer Chepetskoye is a brand owned by the distillery. In the production of the drink, exclusively Czech granulated hops and Austrian malt are used. Beer "Chepetsk" (Glazov) differs from other varieties in that it is "live".
What is live beer?
Beer Chepetskoye (Glazov) reviews put ahead of many other varieties mainly because of its belonging to the category of "living". How does it differ from the usual?
It is known that beer is made from malt (grain raw materials, which is a product of the processing of barley) and hops. Special brewer's yeast is also involved in the production. The complex chemical composition of the product (contains protein and minerals, organic and amino acids, carbohydrates, enzymes and vitamins) contributes to its rapid deterioration. Therefore, in the manufacture of ordinary beer, in order to increase the shelf life, the product is subjected to special processing - the addition of preservatives and pasteurization.
Beer made without the use of such processing is called “live”. Its main differences from a regular drink are its relatively short shelf life (due to the lack of preservatives) and its special taste. There are two types of “live” beer: filtered and unfiltered, that is, non-clarified. “Live” beer is a kind of living organism, in a state of slow ongoing fermentation. It is compliance with this condition that contributes to the presence in the drink of the necessary characteristic "beer" taste. The main value of "live" beer, as users assure, is that it benefits health.
Live beer - good or bad?
Connoisseurs assure that information about the benefits of “live” beer (subject to moderate consumption), of which Chepetskoy belongs, can turn over all modern ideas about the properties of this popular drink. Brewer's yeast contains a large amount of B vitamins. The composition of the product is rich in many minerals necessary for the body: iron, manganese, calcium and phosphorus. Experts believe that beer consumption improves blood coagulation, lowers blood pressure and improves the regulation of cholesterol in the blood.
In addition, the consumption of “live” beer provides the prevention of diseases of the cardiovascular system. Properly brewed fresh beer also contributes to the breakdown of fats, normalization of metabolic processes in the body, and the removal of toxins and toxins from it. Therefore, we can confidently say that the benefits of drinking “live” beer are enormous. But we must not forget that the miraculous properties of the drink appear only if it is consumed moderately. The abuse of beer, even if "alive", no doubt harms the body.
