PILSNER
Pilsner is a beer type most commonly consumed in the world. Pilsner Urquell was the first clear beer in the world produced in 1841 in Plzen. Soon it was recognized in Europe and all over the world and acclaimed as the father or even king of all beers.
Czech PILSNERS are bottom-fermented beers, brewed from very pale, Plzen-type malt and soft water. Since hops are fed in two batches, PILSNERS have a characteristic malt bouquet and a conspicuous hop bitterness. These beers owe their milk aroma and burnt caramel aftertaste to traditional production modes.
LAGER
This beer is produced just like pilsner but usually with added sugar or wheat malt. As LAGERS also have slightly less hop extract they tend to have a lower alcohol content and milder flavour than pilsners. The term LAGER comes from German and until today in Munich it is used to indicate cellars or a warehouse. Although brewers from Plzen should be universally recognized as creators of the modern bottom fermentation beer formula, the very technological process and cool maturation was described in Munich as early as in 1429.
Right now Tyskie is the most popular LAGER in Poland and at the same time the most popular beer brand in the country.
DRY STOUT
This type of beer, produced by means of top fermentation, enjoys particular popularity in Ireland. On the Emerald Isle traditional beer brewing methods are as important as independence. This type of beer is derived from the English porter, characteristic of an extremely rich aroma and considerable hop and roasted bitterness. These beers tend to be very dry while roasted barley, colouring malts and top fermentation yeasts contribute to a large variety of aromas and flavours. The consumers should expect a rich collection of tastes bordering on the smoked, roasted, caramel, banana and many other.
WEISSBIER
Includes wheat, bottom-fermented beers brewed with a large dose of wheat malt. Characteristic of Germany, especially Bavaria and the country’s capital, Berlin. Napoleon’s soldiers who stationed there dubbed WEISSEBIER “champagne of the North”. Weizens, as this type of beer is referred to briefly, ferment by means of special types of top fermentation yeast giving the beer clover, banana, vanilla or lemon flavours. WEISSBIER type beers tend to be light and refreshing, with distinct acidity and delicate bitterness. As the name suggests, they are also the palest among pale beers.
