With a 12°P original extract and 5.2% alcohol, Albacher Easter Brew is a non-pasteurized beer, of Bavarian Pils type: pale yellow, with crystalline limpidity, through cold microfiltration. Brewed around Easter time, this is a full-bodied beer, moderately hoppy, with an effervescent nature due to its high carbon dioxide content.

Created for men, also adored by women; a fresh and invigorating mix, for relaxing times in summer

With a low alcohol content of only 2%, and a fresh, vigorous and refreshing taste, Albacher Radler is the ideal summer drink for dynamic and relaxing breaks.
Albacher Radler originates from a Bavarian recipe over a century old: they say that the idea behind this original mix stems from the initiative of a German innkeeper, who, while waiting for cyclists, realized he did not have enough beer for all of them. Inspired, he used his imagination and talent to mix beer with fresh lemonade. The new recipe gained immediate success and soon became popular. The German Radler recipe is now presented to Romanians by Albacher Radler.

The recipe for a noble beer
Water: from the springs of Şureanu Mountains
Water is one of the basic raw materials for beer brewing, representing, on average, 88% of its composition, and influencing its quality. The most known and typical beers brewed worldwide owe their particular properties to the quality of the water from which they are obtained.
The water used to produce Albacher beer is a soft water, similar to that used for beer brewing in the Pilzen region, in the Czech Republic. The water is taken from a natural source- from the springs of the Şureanu Mountains.
To reap maximum benefit from the properties of the water during the manufacturing process, it is microfiltered, eliminating any potential traces of biological and chemical contaminants, thus obtaining the perfect water for brewing.
Malt: from the most famous of European maltsters
This is the main raw material used when brewing Albacher beer. The malt is obtained from a barley germination and drying process. It is produced in maltings, and the recipe for Albacher beer uses blonde malt, selected from well known maltsters across Romania and Europe.
Malt’s role in beer-brewing is essential, because malt wort is derived as the result of a brewing process (the beer wort, by fermentation, under the action of yeast, turns mainly into alcohol and carbon dioxide.) It is also the malt which produces the beer’s yellow colour, the luscious foam and the beer’s taste and fullness.
Hops: perfect aroma and taste
Hops are indispensable in beer brewing, rendering the beer’s bitter, specific flavour. The value of hops in the brewing process is provided mainly by bitter substances and by essential oils.
The hop plant belongs to the Humulus genus within the Cannabaceae family and, more specifically, to the Humulus lupulus species. The only part of the hop plant used for brewing is the hop cone, which represents the female inflorescence. Hop cones have to be picked when they are matured and within ten days after reaching technical maturity.
Hops are used in the recipe for Albacher’s brewing process, after the malt wort is obtained. In this stage, the selected recipe provides the bitter taste of the bitter hops and the floral taste, specific for the aroma hops. This is a noble variety of hops and, depending on what type is used, it has created, over the course of time. the famous European beers and much more.
Hops play an essential role in protecting beer from microorganisms, helping to form beer foam, and scientific studies have also proven their antioxidant effect, which fosters good health.
Maize flour: a light beer you can always enjoy
Maize flour, also used by European and American breweries is employed in the manufacturing process as an unmalted cereal, which, from a technological technologically speaking presents an essential contribution to the beer’s distinct character.
Processed along with malt, it helps to obtain lighter beers, improving the physical stability of beer, as well as its aspect and clarity.
Unlike Albacher Premium, the Albacher Winter assortment is entirely brewed from malt, according to a German recipe, making it a full-bodied, festive beer, rich in extracts and alcohol.
