Raw materials without which beer would not be
Water: the silent hero of beer
Water accounts for up to 90% of the beer’s volume and is an inconspicuous but essential hero. Its mineral composition influences the bitterness, sweetness and overall character of the beer. Each style of beer requires a specific water treatment to achieve the perfect harmony of flavours. Our water is carefully filtered and customized to meet the highest brewing standards.
Malt: The basis of taste and colour
Malt is the heart of every beer. It is made from barley grains that are germinated and then dried. This process creates the sugars needed for fermentation and gives the beer its colour, body and flavour. From subtly sweet to caramel or roasted, the different malts create endless possibilities of flavor profiles. Our malts come from renowned European maltsters who are committed to quality and tradition.
Hops: the soul of beer
Hops are the ingredient that gives beer its unmistakable bitterness, aroma and taste. It contains bittering alpha acids, which determine the intensity of the bitterness, and essential oils, which give beer its characteristic aroma. We use a variety of hops from around the world based on the style of beer we brew.
Yeasts: the makers of alcohol and flavour
Yeasts are tiny but extremely powerful micro-organisms that convert sugars from malt into alcohol and carbon dioxide, while also playing a key role in other important processes. In addition, yeasts significantly influence the final taste and aroma of beer. Different types of yeast are responsible for a variety of beer styles – from mild lagers to bold ALE-type beers.
