Introduction of German beer and its ingredients, urgent ~ ~ ~

Oktoberfest originated in Germany and was held in 18 10 10 to celebrate the wedding of Prince Ludwig of Bavaria and Princess Hills of Saxony. Since then, Oktoberfest in Munich has been preserved as a traditional folk festival in Bavaria. Every year from the end of September to the beginning of 10, people in their nest, accompanied by relatives and friends, love each other and get together, drinking homemade draught beer and eating all kinds of sausages and bread unique to Germany. During this period, the band shuttled through the crowd in national costumes and skillfully played relaxed and cheerful music.

German beer culture

Beer is not wine, it belongs to Germans. In a standard German company, there is always an employee dining room or a refrigerator for drinks, which contains various types of beer. Drinking these drinks during office hours will not be considered inappropriate.

It has nothing to do with the World Cup, but it is actually an integral part of German "beer-ism" culture. It is not difficult to trace back that Germany's contribution to the history of beer development and brewing science may be the largest in the world. It is not only the birthplace of most stored beer varieties, but also creates many unique ale styles, and its contribution to philosophy, literature and concert halls can be comparable.

Many non-beer lovers are always confused about the difference between lager beer and Al beer. If they visit the famous "Beer Museum" when they travel to Dortmund, they will be confused by the complicated and different processes.

In fact, according to the mainstream of traditional practice, beer is classified according to the types of yeast: those that use al yeast and those that use stored beer yeast. When beer is bottled, bottled and canned, most of the beer on the market will be filtered and then heated for sterilization, while the traditional al only slightly filters it.

It is also easy to distinguish from a single taste. Al beer has a compound taste of fruit and aroma, and the drinking temperature is higher, while the newly stored beer has a more "refreshing" taste. In the middle and late last century, Ming Che's visually clear lager beer attracted more and more consumers than traditional Al, Porter and stout.

Thirty years later, Al's nonstandard personality made a comeback. At present, the famous German Aier beer is: Weissbier/Weizen, mainly produced in Munich; Big producers, like Paulaner in Munich, opened a restaurant in the rare platinum area of Shanghai; And popular brands such as Erdinger and Spaten Francisca.

Cologne is famous for the 3K church (Kirchen), the Kneipen and the Karneval, and produces an al called "Kolsch". The use of noble hops, such as Harley Tourre, has a low to medium bouquet and bitterness, and the manufacturer Kuppers Brewery occupies a leading position in this field.

Dusseldorf is the hometown of Dubai's Erz, one of the largest beer families in Germany, producing a crisp and bitter Al called Altbeer. As for storing beer, Dortmund, which is famous for its beer industry, exports lager.

Oktoberfest in Munich reminds others of German beer. Imagine Uncle Munich holding a 1 liter beer glass and spitting up the whole chicken. In fact, we can also imagine another scene, because many fragments of German, European and even world history have a lot of intersection with the "beer doctrine" culture. For example, in the autumn of 19 19, Hitler started his political career in a small beer house named Hofburg in Munich by becoming attached to the German Workers' Party, the predecessor of the Nazi Party.

This beer hall is still there, next to the city square, and now it is surrounded by fans from all over the world.

When it comes to German beer culture deeply rooted in national culture, we can't help but mention Bill Kato. This is not a place with pink lanterns or flashing neon lights on the roof of Japan, but an open-air drinking place with large plants such as chestnut or bodhi trees in the courtyard. It can be said that the Royal Brewery and Rowanbulu, which represent Munich to store beer products, are also huge beer gardens, providing venues for the nightlife of thousands of beer lovers.

When drinking beer, the Germans are also different from the orientals including China, that is, they don't have to have side dishes, but salty bread at most. If you drink it with cheese or raw ham sausage, it becomes a part of dinner, not a side dish.

Interestingly, beer has also made great contributions in German religious history: ancient Catholics fasted during Lent before Easter to commemorate the crucifixion of Christ, and at that time, Xiutaku beer developed and produced by monasteries was sold. This Al beer is dark in color, with an alcohol concentration of 5.5%. It is rich in minerals and vitamins and is used to supplement and support the body's needs of fasting for 40 days.
