Beer Schnapps

What is Schnapps?

In our in-house distillery, alcohol is being drawn by distillation of our special brewed-in horseshoe beer. Of course, that’s quite tedious and costly, because the beer contains only about 5% alcohol ( 5% means, that one liter of beer contains about 50 ml of alcohol). The alcohol obtained, is of higest purity, as exclusively beer is being used for distilling, which was produced according to the purity law in 1516.

What is distillation?

Alcohol evaporates at a lower temperature than water ( approx.. 78°C ).The beer is brought to a boil in the distillation apparatus ( distillery ). The vaporized alcohol, is returned under counter – current cooling, back to its liquid form.

By the distillation, certain hops substances of the beer are taken over, which have a tranquilizing effect on the stomach, and the nervous system. (most Tranquilizers contain the Lupulin of the hops)

How does our beer schnapps taste?

It tastes pure and genuine, just like beer. Some call it the “franconian whiskey”. You should give it a shot and try it. Purity guaranteed – your brew master.
