A red-golden M\u00e4rzen beer, as the tradition of M\u00e4rzen beers demands. Spicy on the palate, with a hop aroma that plays around the palate as a counterpoint to the full-bodied flavor. <\/p>\n
The swing stopper on this classic beer brings back memories of old, pre-technological times. A traditional beer from the Weissenohe monastery brewery! <\/p>\n
The name M\u00e4rzen comes from ancient times, as the last time bottom-fermented beer could be brewed was in March. This was because the low winter temperatures were needed for its digestible fermentation. Before the invention of ammonia refrigeration machines by Carl Linde, there was no way of cooling beer down to the required 8-9\u00b0C in summer. The ban on summer brewing imposed at the time was intended to prevent the loss of malt and hops through spoiled beer. In addition, the last of the ice from the surrounding ponds could be collected in March to provide the necessary cooling in the storage cellars over the summer.
\nIn addition, brewers knew from experience that a bottom-fermented beer needed a little extra help to preserve it for long storage. This is why brewers used more malt and hops for a M\u00e4rzen, a “good mas”. Today, we know that hops suppress the undesirable lactic acid bacteria in beer and that alcohol inhibits almost all microorganisms, so that such stronger beers do not turn sour so quickly.
\nTherefore, such a beer had a much stronger taste and is nowadays a criterion for a typical M\u00e4rzen. <\/p>\n
Goes well with: a hearty roast pork with lots of caraway seeds, carp, a fresh K\u00fcchla (the chef’s favorite)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Our Eucharius M\u00e4rzen is a chestnut-red specialty and is still brewed as it was in the days before the invention of ammonia refrigerators, when summer brewing was prohibited. An intensive boil mashing process and hearty malts give it its powerful body. The extra alcohol and hops gave it the necessary shelf life for storage over the summer in the rock cellars. As an unfiltered and naturally cloudy cellar beer, it is filled directly from the storage tank into the bottle. This preserves all the valuable aromatic ingredients. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3168,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[298,314],"product_tag":[355,364,302],"class_list":{"0":"post-3572","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-drinks","7":"product_cat-red","8":"product_tag-bright","9":"product_tag-hoppy","10":"product_tag-traditional","12":"first","13":"outofstock","14":"sale","15":"taxable","16":"shipping-taxable","17":"purchasable","18":"product-type-variable","19":"has-default-attributes"},"bundled_by":[],"bundle_stock_status":"outofstock","bundle_stock_quantity":null,"bundle_virtual":false,"bundle_layout":"","bundle_add_to_cart_form_location":"","bundle_editable_in_cart":false,"bundle_sold_individually_context":"","bundle_item_grouping":"","bundle_min_size":"","bundle_max_size":"","bundle_price":[],"bundled_items":[],"bundle_sell_ids":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
