Tips from master brewer

To enjoy a beer properly and to taste its full flavor, our master brewers gives here are a few useful tips:

Storage

Beer should be stored in a cool and dark room.

Bright light and strong temperature fluctuations harm the taste.

The optimum temperature in the storage room should be constantly 5-10 degrees Celsius. Even the beer should not be stored horizontally.

The serving temperature is crucial for the enjoyment of beer. It should be from 8 to 10 degrees Celsius – similar to an ordinary refrigerator setting.

Serving

1. before drafting rinse clean glasses with cold water
2. open tap completely while drafting a beer
3. drafting a fresh beer takes only 3 minutes not 7
4. never offer the “night watch man” ( beer that has been in the draft pipe over a long period or overnight)
5. never pre-draft and never pour half filled glasses together

These draft-rules can be applied to bottled beer as well. With the right treatment it will build a beautiful frothy crown as well. Wheat beer which usually has to be served in bottles should be poured moderately and evenly not creating any swirls in the glass, which leads to excessive froth formation. Respecting the delicate flavor of wheat beer it should never be served with a lemon.
