This month we are happy to have Brandwerk to introduce us Estrella Damm-Mediterranean Beer and Budějovický Budvar. Register today to enjoy the golden taste of their beers!
Estrella Damm-Mediterranean Beer since 1876
Over 140 years ago, the young brewer August Kuentzmann Damm emigrated from Alsace with his wife Melanie, fleeing the Franco-Prussian War. Their journey took them to the Mediterranean coast, where they settled to fulfil their dream: to brew beer.In 1876, they opened their own brewery and created a beer that was adapted to suit the Mediterranean climate. Lighter than Central European beers that were designed for colder climates, we know it as a Mediterranean Beer.
Estrella Damm is still made following the original 1876 recipe; a blend of malt, rice and hops. Estrella Damm is a golden colour with tones of amber and slight shades of green. It is bright and sparkling, with a cream-coloured, long lasting head. It is a beer with lots of delicate, lively bubbles.
Budějovický Budvar-"The biggest little brewery in the world"
The Budvar brewery directly followed the historical tradition of brewing in the town of České Budějovice (Budweis) dating back to the 13th century – to the days of the town's origination when it was granted the brewing right.
Since its founding, the "Czech Joint-Stock Brewery" focused on making top-quality beer, which soon became a sought after export commodity. In 1897, this beer was awarded a gold medal at a trade fair in Stuttgart and by the end of the 19th century the brewery was exporting to Vienna, Trieste, Venice, Alexandria and Kobe in Japan.
In 1930 a new trademark "Budvar" was registered for a new type of lager, soon becoming synonymous with internationally top-quality beer.
