The Warsteiner Brewery was founded in 1753, and today is one of the largest privately held breweries in Germany and in the top five of the country’s best selling breweries. Its most popular beer is Warsteiner Premium Verum or also known as Warsteiner Premium German Pilsener, which is one of Germany’s leading premium pilsener brands.
Warsteiner beer is brewed in the Arnsberg Forest Nature Park outside of the town of Warstein, North-Rhine Westphalia, Germany. Warsteiner has been privately owned by the Cramer family since 1753, and is now in its 9th generation of family ownership under the guidance of Catharina Cramer.
The company also sells Premium Cola, Premium Lemon and Premium Orange drinks, to appeal to the kids, you know! For beer, apart from its flagship Pilsener, it also sells the usual Dunkels, Hefeweizen’s, a special seasonal beer for the Oktoberfest, and non alcoholic drinks. All beers are brewed in strict accordance with the Germany Purity Law of 1516, naturally! The non alcoholic beer is interesting as they brew it as a Pilsener and then proceed to extract the alcohol content. There has to be better ways of doing that?
Warsteiner is the official beer of Lufthansa and served on all flights, which is great so long as the pilots are not on it.
Review: 0,5l, a nice can of Warsteiner Premium German Pilsener: ABV. 4.8% vol
Can also be known as Warsteiner Premium Verum, it is Warsteiner’s most popular beer, and exported to over 60 countries.
In a nice light brownish coloured can with the famous and striking Warsteiner logo of the crown with the slogan “Eine Königin unter den Bieren” (“A Queen amongst Beers”).
On pour got a nice decent frothy white head of beer with a light golden colour, a nice looking beer. Not a bad looking beer.
A very beery lagery smell, malty but light enough on the nose.
Good initial soft taste. Very smooth, very easy to drink. Slight grainy taste.
Bit of an aftertaste that is apparent in the back end. Light enough though.
Very smooth, nice and clean, easy to drink.
Would be nice to have a kick or a stronger taste though as it is a little too mild for me.
2nd can.
Slight grassy taste. Creamy and malty. Frothy mouthful. Very smooth.
No real kick, little alcohol to be tasted. Very watery too.
After an initial flurry of excitement it all got a little bit boring and generic in the end. Ok beer, could be better.



The Abbey still stands and has a number of monks who live the lifestyle dictated to them by St Benedict, ‘ora et labora’ (pray and work). Nestled in a beautiful forest, the abbey is a bit of a tourist attraction and cultural retreat theses days. Visitors like to marvel at the Gothic church, walk in the gardens or do some schooling in the creative arts on offer. The Bible Centre has over 400,000 books, manuscripts and other important artifacts all relating to the monastic and spiritual way of life. But if that doesn’t take your fancy you can always have a beer and cheese tasting tour. I know which activity I would choose!
Really dig the small brown bottle and the label, looks lovely. Simple enough but well designed and appealing. The beer is bottle conditioned as well, all adding to the appeal.
Nice, I like it, very tasty. Has all the typical tastes, very clearly the coriander, cloves, the malts and fruits, particularly banana. 
Founded in 1817 by Johann Wallenborn, Bitburger brauerei is a large German brewery founded in 1817 with its headquarters in Bitburg, in the state of Rhineland-Palatinate, southwest Germany, bordering France and Luxembourg. The brewery is now in its 7th generation of ownership.
Had a nice faint lagery smell, a soft light malty aroma and some grains, ok.
Privatbrauerei Fritz Egger is a private brewery from Austria.
Smell is light, malty. Very slight on the nose, nearly odourless in fact! Smell is beery and fruity. 
The company was founded on September 6, 1888 by five citizens from Flensburg. They had everything they needed in place for a good well run brewery, an ideal site with an underground glacier spring with crystal-clear water for brewing (Which they still use today) and a way of obtaining the ice needed (in the days before refrigeration) for the lagering cellars. Today it is still mainly held by the founder families of Petersen and Dethleffsen.
A beer that I spotted for sale in my local Aldi. A cheapish 6 pack.
Taste, oh a surprise….a very unique taste there, very yeasty. Also very bitter, very hoppy, fuck me.
