Tucher Helles Lager Is a Blend of Oak-Aged Helles Lager from the Old Brewhouse and Fresh Helles Lager from the New

THE HIGH GRAVITY SPECIALISTS At Tucher Traditionsbrauerei’s two-city Brewhouse, the brewery’s unique story is built into its name, as the building straddles the border between Furth and Nuremberg, Germany – two Northern Bavarian cities with proud heritages. So prevalent is this cultural divide, that the border is marked throughout the brewery for all to see. The attention to detail doesn’t stop there, as Tucher has been producing remarkably consistent and clean beer for more than 350 years. A brewing range that stretches from their iconic wheat beers to an oak-aged Rotbier native to Nuremberg adheres to Bavarian brewing heritage across the board. With the cleanest of water sourced from the brewery’s own wells and a dedication to only using first-generation yeast, the Reinheitsgebot (German Purity Law) is alive and well in its beers. Helles Lager While much of Tucher’s strength has been on the back of its delicate helles hefeweizen, the original brewery was devoted to the Northern Bavarian specialties of oak-aged rotbiers and lagers. Paying homage to the brewery’s roots, the Tucher Helles Lager is a blend of oak-aged helles lager from the old brewhouse and fresh helles lager from the new. The result is not only a beer that bridges the gaps between the brewery’s past and present, but a delightfully refreshing helles lager with the perfect amount of depth.

On Brewing Bavarian Helles: Adapting to Low Oxygen Brewing
On Brewing Bavarian Helles: Adapting to Low Oxygen Brewing by the Team at the German Brewing Forum www.germanbrewing.net September 2016 \I always thought something was fundamentally wrong with the universe." | Arthur Dent, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy 1 Introduction Bavarian beer is widely regarded as some of the highest quality beer in the world. Many beer aficionados believe that it possesses an "elusive" flavor quality that sets it apart on the world's beer stage. The simple fact is that there are no real "secrets" to brewing Bavarian beer, but it is brewed with the utmost dedication to quality. This means that there are quality control factors taken into account that are often completely overlooked by home and professional brewers alike throughout the rest of the world (though not without exception). Chief among these factors is the role of oxygen throughout the entire brewing process. Ultimately, this guide is not just about brewing Bavarian beer, but about the importance of low oxygen brewing. That said, Bavarian Helles is the perfect showcase for low oxygen brewing because its flavor profile is defined by the unmistakable flavors of fresh malt undamaged by oxygen. Simply put, you cannot make a proper Helles without employing a low oxygen brewing process. After reading this guide, you will not only be properly equipped to brew an authentic Helles, but also to vastly improve the quality of every beer style that you brew. These instructions assume you are already an avid home or professional brewer and have a good understanding of the basics of brewing.

2012 Beer Style Guidelines January 10, 2012
Brewers Association 2012 Beer Style Guidelines January 10, 2012 Compiled for the Brewers Association by Charlie Papazian, copyright: 1993 through and including 2012. With Style Guideline Committee assistance and review by Paul Gatza, Chris Swersey and suggestions from Great American Beer Festival and World Beer Cup judges. Since 1979 the Brewers Association has provided beer style descriptions as a reference for brewers and beer competition organizers. Much of the early work was based on the assistance and contributions of beer journalist Michael Jackson. The task of creating a realistic set of guidelines is always complex. The beer style guidelines developed by the Brewers Association use sources from the commercial brewing industry, beer analyses, and consultations with beer industry experts and knowledgeable beer enthusiasts as resources for information. The Brewers Association' beer style guidelines reflect, as much as possible, historical significance, authenticity or a high profile in the current commercial beer market. Often, the historical significance is not clear, or a new beer in a current market may be only a passing fad, and thus, quickly forgotten. For these reasons, the addition of a style or the modification of an existing one is not undertaken lightly and is the product of research, consultation and consideration of market actualities, and may take place over a period of time. Another factor considered is that current commercial examples do not always fit well into the historical record, and instead represent a modern version of the style. Our decision to include a particular historical beer style takes into consideration the style's brewing traditions and the need to preserve those traditions in today's market.
