Faxe - beer with Danish character

Faxe - beer, which is familiar not only to any Dane. He is loved and respected far beyond his native country.

How it all began

The history of Faxe beer began in the last century. In 1901, Nelson's spouses created their own business and founded the Fakse Dampbryggeri brewery. After the death of her husband in 1914, Nicholas Nelson continued the common cause. For the production of beer began to use the purest water from a deep well. It still functions today. Since then it is believed that Faxe is a crystal-quality beer. The company changed its name, and now Faxe Bryggeri supplied the whole country with its goods. Since 1945, at the helm of the company were three sons of Nikolin. They continued the family business. The company began to expand noticeably. Production volumes increased, new varieties were created. Since 1960, the company was led by Bent Brued, the grandson of Frau Nelson. He went further than his ancestors, and already in 10 years the famous Danish beer began to be supplied to other countries. When it merged, the two most famous breweries in the country, and a new large company, Royal Unibrew, was formed. Now Faxe is the second most important beer in the country.

Drink for real men

Faxe - beer, which to this day is prepared according to ancient Danish recipes. For production only pure spring water, first-class hops and selected barley light malt are used. The result is an amazing amber drink with a pronounced taste and a little bitterness. It was this infusion that the ancient Vikings drank in their time, because heroes always choose the best. Probably, this was the reason that the image of the viking became the trademark of the company. Many countries appreciated the quality of Danish beer. Some of them have signed contracts with Royal Unibrew to produce its products in their homeland. So, the Moscow brewing company in 2009 acquired a license and began production of the famous for the whole Scandinavia drink. The work is conducted under the supervision of Danish specialists. A serious advertising campaign was conducted to ensure that the new import brand was presented to consumers as best as possible.

Customer opinions

Russians have ambiguously embraced the new Faxe beer. Reviews about him speak for themselves. Most beer lovers point out that products that were previously supplied directly from Danish breweries did correspond to the declared quality. But what is done in our factories can not be called beer. In the flavor of the drink there are unpleasant chemical components, similar to plastic or rubber. In the aftertaste there is bitterness, but it is caused more by alcohol than by vegetable components. This beer pleasantly warms, but this effect is most likely obtained from the apparent presence in the composition of all the same alcohol. It seems that the drink was made really for the Vikings, who preferred strong alcohol. But there are other opinions. Someone thinks that Faxe is not worse than any domestic beer. The main thing is not to use it in large quantities. Otherwise, the only impression will be a quick intoxication and a heavy hangover.

Variety of choices

It is worth noting that in Europe the beer Faxe is very respected. The manufacturer, in turn, tries to please customers with a variety of options.

The company Royal Unibrew delivers to the market beverages for a wide variety of tastes. The table below will help you find your way around the assortment.

The assortment is very diverse and quite interesting. But not always the beer produced by the domestic producer meets the required standards. Unlike the originals, in it the aroma of the wort disappears almost immediately after the opening of the container. There is also a coarse hops flavor with a slight hint of salinity. In addition, the presence of tap water is clearly felt in beer. This is very unpleasant, given that the Danes make their drink exclusively on the key water. In the rest, the beer is quite tolerable and the common man may even like it.
