Starnberger expands internationally: Bavarian Craft Beer Brand Partners with Krombacher for European Launch

Germany’s family owned and operated Krombacher Brewery, is helping to introduce one of Bavaria’s most exciting craft breweries to a wider audience by launching the Starnberger brand internationally this month.

Delivering a refreshingly modern interpretation of Bavarian beers and their culture, the brands’ core product is Starnberger Hell, an authentic Bavarian lager-style specialty. 

In addition to the traditionally large beer markets of France, Italy and the UK, Starnberger will also see South-East Europe as a starting point for its journey throughout the entire world.

Oliver Braun, MD of Krombacher International says: “With growing interest in regional German beer styles, we're really pleased to offer a 100% authentic taste of Bavaria from one of the region’s top breweries. "

Starnberger Hell - The authentic Bavarian classic

Brewed according to the German Purity Law with the finest of only Bavarian ingredients, Starnberger Hell (4.8% abv) is an easy-to-drink, fine-flavoured, refreshing Bavarian lager. 

Drinkers will note at the inaugural sip, it has a delicately tart taste, but later the drinker detects wheat notes balancing in harmony with the citrusy notes of the hops and the malty aromas of lime honey. 

Full-bodied with a round taste and a delightful golden shine, Starnberger Hell personifies everything that's good about the best of Bavarian beers.

The Starnberger Brewery has helped create new excitement in Germany’s traditional brewing scene since launching its first beers back in 2016.

That's the Ticket! Ticket makes its low alcohol debut with refreshing lemongrass beer

There was never any question, lemongrass would be the new heroic ingredient when Ticket launched its eagerly anticipated low alcohol lager; a fragrant, tropical grass admired for its welcome presence in Southeast Asian cuisine (broths, curries, marinades and even delicious tea infusions) yet perfectly adept at making the transition to flavourful, non-alcoholic beer.

Looking past its uniquely refreshing taste and distinct uplifting benefits, lemongrass has an enviable reputation for amplifying the wow factor in other 'hero' ingredients, which in Ticket's case is saffron.

As with its pale ale before, Ticket is all about creating a meticulously crafted non-alcoholic beer that perfectly mirrors the tastes, aromas and mouthfeel associated with everyday beers, but at less than 0.5% ABV. 

Besides creating refreshing, well-rounded craft beers, Ticket's other priority is actively championing ingredients which have added health and wellness benefits.  Lemongrass is universally admired for tackling digestive issues (gastrointestinal problems) including cramps and gastric ulcers.

Faeghe Solemani, who is Ticket co-founder feels very strongly that its perfectly plausible for any well-balanced recipe to simultaneously champion great taste and functional benefits. Faeghe said: "Like saffron before it, lemongrass has a proud track record in medicinal & wellness circles; in this particular instance supporting good immune health and digestion.  

"It's a clean, lingering flavour and scent readily associated with far-flung holidays, full spread BBQs and lazy summery weekends, which is why we wanted to launch our feelgood lager at the very beginning of summer, not simply to provide greater non-alcoholic choice but also to show that we're anything but a one-way ticket."

Laverstoke Park beers for Christmas and the New Year

The first thing one notices about the beers that Laverstoke Park produces is that they actually do taste like beer.

Now, whilst the idea of beers that taste like beers might be somewhat confusing to some people, please let me explain what I mean.

I speak -or rather, write- as someone with considerable experience as a drinker of beers and as a writer on beers. Sad to say, some beers do not taste particularly pleasant.

I remember one brewer of organic ales who worked very, very hard to brew his beers. But somehow or for some reason he had decided to use smoked malt in all of his different types of beer. The result was not good.

However, it has to be said that the folks at Laverstoke Park know what they are doing!

Their Organic Real Ale is 5.0% ABV. It has a pleasingly light flavour, though the malty character of this finely crafted ale does combine nicely with the yeast and the hoppy goodness, though there's a rather nice and welcome surprise, a fruity undertone that means it will go very well with Christmas dinner, Christmas cake, mince pies and will be a great toast for the Queen's Chirstmas Message!

Next we come to the Laverstoke Park Organic Real Lager. At 4.5%
 it is a good, decent strength and is exactly what a lager should taste like. It has the characteristically lager style taste (not all lagers do!) and it is a light and refreshing beer, ideal for those who know their Continental style beers.  Ideal for drinking with all Christmas foods, and for just drinking whilst you think nice thoughts about what Christmas really means. I would suggest getting in a good supply of this Real Lager and watching every film version of the Charles Dickens novel a Christmas Carol that you can!
