  • Beer and Malt Handbook: Beer Types (PDF)
    1. BEER TYPES The world is full of different beers, divided into a vast array of different types. Many classifications and precise definitions of beers having been formulated over the years, ours are not the most rigid, since we seek simply to review some of the most important beer types. In addition, we present a few options for the malt used for each type-hints for brewers considering different choices of malt when planning a new beer. The following beer types are given a short introduction to our Viking Malt malts. TOP FERMENTED BEERS: • Ales • Stouts and Porters • Wheat beers BOTTOM FERMENTED BEERS: • Lager • Dark lager • Pilsner • Bocks • Märzen 4 BEER & MALT HANDBOOK. BACKGROUND Known as the ‘mother’ of all pale lagers, pilsner originated in Bohemia, in the city of Pilsen. Pilsner is said to have been the first golden, clear lager beer, and is well known for its very soft brewing water, which PILSNER contributes to its smooth taste. Nowadays, for example, over half of the beer drunk in Germany is pilsner. DESCRIPTION Pilsner was originally famous for its fine hop aroma and strong bitterness. Its golden color and moderate alcohol content, and its slightly lower final attenuation, give it a smooth malty taste. Nowadays, the range of pilsner beers has extended in such a way that the less hopped and lighter versions are now considered ordinary lagers. TYPICAL ANALYSIS OF PILSNER Original gravity 11-12 °Plato Alcohol content 4.5-5.2 % volume C olor6 -12 °EBC Bitterness 2 5-40 BU COMMON MALT BASIS Pale Pilsner Malt is used according to the required specifications.

Purinton to The Department of History In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In the field of History Northeastern University Boston, Massachusetts August 2016 1 Empire in a Bottle: Commodities, Culture, and the Consumption of Pilsner Beer in the British Empire, c.1870-1914 by Malcolm F. Purinton Abstract of Dissertation Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the College of Social Sciences and Humanities of Northeastern University August, 2016 2 Abstract The Pilsner-style beer is the most popular and widespread beer style in the world with local variants and global brands all competing in marketplaces from Asia to Africa to the Americas. Yet no one has ever examined why this beer and not another was able to capture the global market for malt beverages. This is important from the point of view of the study of beer as a commodity, but its greater importance is in the way the spread of the Pilsner style serves as a visible, traceable marker for the changes wrought by globalization in an age of empire. Its spread was dependent not only on technological innovations and faster transportation, but also on the increased connectedness of the world, and on the political structures like empires that dominated the world at the time. Drawing upon a wide range of archival sources from Great Britain, Germany, Ireland, and South Africa, this study traces the spread in consumption and production of the Pilsner in the British Empire between 1870 and 1914.

  • History of the Original Golden Beer – Pilsner Urquell
    History of The Original Golden Beer – Pilsner Urquell Origins of Beer • Beer is as old as civilization itself. The oldest records of brewing are about 6,000 years old and refer to the Sumerians. • The Babylon King Hammurabi established daily beer rations based on social standing. • The Chinese brewed beer 5,000 years ago called “Kui.” • Barley for brewing was so important to early Romans that they honored the grain on their coins. • But beer was always dark, cloudy, and brown – until 1842, when beer was changed forever. The Golden Beer Revolution In 1842, Josef Groll discovered the original technique for brewing golden lager and brewed the world’s first golden beer – Pilsner Urquell. The golden pilsner was born in the cradle of brewing civilization – Pilsen, Bohemia. The unique climate and the world’s best ingredients led to a breakthrough and the start of the golden beer revolution. The golden beer became the beer of kings and aristocrats. They would drink the pilsner out of clear glasses as a status symbol. The new beer was so spectacular it inspired the creation of the pilsner glass. Pilsner Urquell in the United States Pilsner Urquell was the first beer exported to the United States in 1871. By the turn of the century, Pilsner Urquell was the No. 1 imported beer in the United States prior to prohibition. With the start of Prohibition in America in 1920, however, Pilsner Urquell’s reign ceased. During the dark days of prohibition, drinking was pushed to the backrooms and speakeasies; exportation of Pilsner Urquell stopped and didn’t regain momentum until years later.
