Beer brandy used to be a method of saving expired beer from going down the drain. Most brewing pieces are not suitable for storage beyond a few months. They become stale, lose their balance and can no longer be enjoyed. You have to throw them away. Or make beer brandy from it. A fine spirit can be obtained from the beer using distillation.
Nowadays, beer brandy has gained a certain popularity and is no longer only prepared when beer is in danger of running out. A brewery that, in addition to its selection of down-to-earth beers, also offers fine schnapps is Vulkan from the Eifel. Their Vulkan Brand is one of the most popular higher proofs in the range and is distilled from 100% of the brewery’s own beer. It wonderfully captures the malty character of the base brew and combines it with a delicate hop bitterness. Rounding off components are vanilla and wood notes that come from the bourbon barrel in which the spirit was matured. The wood releases its full-bodied aroma into the fire and forms a complex, round taste.
The fine wine brings an impressive 38% alcohol content to the table and is the perfect crowning point for a festive dinner or a cozy evening with good friends.
