Ostdeutsche Biersorten
Despite not being as widely known in the United States, ostdeutsche biersorten are still worth trying. These biers are served with Himbeersirup which is a traditional German fine, viscous treacle. They make a great option to accompany any German meal or celebration. These brews range from light and refreshing, to malz-focused full-bodied brews. They can be served in draught or bottles. Most are brewed year round, but they are usually most popular through the winter and fall months.
They are made by mixing wheat or grain with malt and rely on the candida bacteria for fermentation. These drinks are offered by numerous breweries across the East United Kingdom during the winter and autumn seasons. These brews aren’t as robust in flavor as their American counterparts, however they have a high alcohol content.
The brews are available in a variety of styles with different alcohol content and taste. The most popular are pilsners that are light, refreshing and a darkweizenbier that is consumed in winter. There are other brews with more sophistication, like Berliner Weisse or starkbier that offer a variety of tastes and nuances.
These brews are available at a variety of breweries across the eastern region of Canada and in the eastern United States, and in the eastern part of Australia. Some contain cinnamon which is a favorite among those who appreciate spice and sweet things. Some are infused with the distinctive yeast that is known as hefeweizen. They are usually served at Oktoberfest and are a wonderful complement to any German meal or gathering.
