Beck's, a name synonymous with German brewing excellence, stands as the world's most consumed German beer. Founded in 1873 by Heinrich Beck on the picturesque banks of the river Weser in Bremen, Germany, the brewery has maintained its operations at this historic site to this day. Beck's is not just a beer; it's a testament to a legacy, a legacy that began with Heinrich Beck's pioneering spirit. Instead of focusing solely on the domestic market, he envisioned a global presence for Beck's, a dream that has been realised today.
The brewery's commitment to quality is evident in its adherence to the German Purity Law, ensuring that only four ingredients are used in the brewing process: malt barley, selected hops from Hallertau in Bavaria, fresh brewing water, and a unique Beck’s yeast strain. This dedication ensures a beer that is rich in hop and malt, full of character, and offers an intense bitterness that beer enthusiasts have come to love.
Tasting Notes:
- Appearance: Golden colour, crowned with a rich foamy head.
- Aroma: Distinctive, hinting at its rich hop and malt composition.
- Flavour: Dominated by its intense bitterness, complemented by underlying malt notes.
- Mouthfeel: Dry and clean finish, leaving a pleasant hoppy after-taste.
A fun fact about Beck's is its iconic green bottle. Due to a shortage of brown glass in the early years, founder Heinrich Beck opted for green glass, making Beck's one of the first beers globally to be bottled in green.
Beck's has always been more than just a beer. It represents a mindset of freedom and openness, evident in its support for urban street art in Miami, off-location parties in Berlin, and independent artists in Milan. Whether you're pairing it with sushi, spicy foods, or a classic burger, Beck's complements a range of dishes.
