Famous German beer Holsten

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

National traditions

In Germany, in olden times beer was the most loved and respected drink. It was cooked in almost every house. The secrets of mastery were passed on from generation to generation, and some of them have survived to this day. In each individual area there were their favorite varieties, which eventually became a kind of visiting card of a particular federal area. Among the inhabitants of Hamburg, Holsten beer is very popular these days. It was first prepared in 1879 at a brewery with the same name. Since then many years have passed, but to this day Holsten-Brauerei AG is brewed the same beer. But now it's not just production, but a famous drink that is exported in large quantities abroad. Years passed. The enterprise increased its scale, and gradually in other countries plants began to appear, on which Holsten beer was also prepared. He was licensed and sold on the domestic market. Among numerous manufacturers, Russia is also listed.

Product Detail

On trade counters , Holsten beer is favorably different from similar products of other manufacturers. It is impossible not to recognize or confuse it. After all, this is a fairly well-known brand. Yes, and its name is not taken by accident. In the distant times of the Middle Ages, the members of one of the numerous Germanic tribes so dubbed themselves . Later the name "Holstein" was named one of the historical regions of the German state. To emphasize its importance and respect for the memory of its ancestors, the company's management decided to develop a special label for their products and place on it in the center of the symbol of their native land. They became the image of a medieval knight. He proudly sits on a horse with a sword in his hand and easily restrains the animal, which has become on the rack. In the second hand, the knight holds a shield, which shows the initial letter of the commodity name. The Germans always felt a passion for heraldry. In addition, a self-assured warrior symbolizes the desire to win and not pass in front of obstacles.

The real leader

A huge number of drink fans around the world recognize German beer as one of the best. For Germany, this product is truly a national asset. The Germans are very sensitive to everything that concerns beer. They 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 foreign additives and the more so alcohol-containing components. This is an obligatory condition for German brewers to this day. Each of their products is a real work of art and an example of veneration of ancient traditions. And if you consider that German beer has more than five thousand different types, it remains to be surprised how from a rather meager set of components and strict rules regarding technology, you can achieve such diversity.

Opinions from

In our country there are tens of thousands of people who respect Holsten beer very much. The reviews of many of them emphasize the unique characteristics and the absolute quality of the drink. First of all it concerns Holsten Pilzner. This grade of light beer with an alcohol content in the range of 4.5 to 4.8 percent is considered the best of the whole range of the world famous corporation. A fragrant drink of golden color with a pleasant characteristic taste and light bitterness is admired by everyone who has had a chance to try it. True, some Russian tasters say that the original product is much better and significantly different from what some of our breweries produce under license. In addition, a new product under the name "Holsten Premium" has recently appeared on the shopping counters. Strange, but there is no such beer in the line of production of the famous brand. Perhaps this is a free interpretation of Russian specialists. Then it will be the beer of Russia, not Germany.

Wealth of taste

In Germany, mainly produce light beer. The brands of products differ among themselves by the technology of preparation and, of course, the appearance of the goods. Each brand stores in itself special recipes, which were created for decades. In addition, any brand has different kinds of beer. The famous "Holsten" is known for the following species.

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

On guard of health

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