Water is crucial when it comes to brewing beer \u2014 and it has to be good water too. After all, water is the most significant component of beer in terms of mere quantity. But it\u2019s not only important as an ingredient, but also for the management of the brewery, for instance for cleaning and cooling.<\/p>\n

Every beer has its glass<\/h2>\n

For lighter beer types, you need softer water. Until quite recently, the water for the Kaltenhausen beer in Hallein came from the brewery\u2019s very own well, now it comes from the communal water from the \u201cGamp II\u201d well. \u201cIt has excellent quality.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brewing is an old tradition in Austria. The foundation for the brewery in Kaltenhausen was laid in 1475. Hans Elsenheimer, a merchant from Salzburg, took advantage of the unique geological features in Kaltenhausen, where the fantastic water is especially beneficial for the beer\u2019s production and the subterranean cooling chambers at the slope of the Barmsteine rock pinnacles for its storage.<\/p>\n

Brewing requires the best possible ingredients. At Hofbr\u00e4u Kaltenhausen, only the finest Austrian raw ingredients are used. Ideally, you would see for yourself by taking a guided tour that\u2019s all about the beer. Here you can, for example, learn that one and the same beer will taste differently from different glasses. Or that brewing beer was, for a long time, reserved for women.<\/p>\n

Beer is not for spitting<\/h2>\n

You can also partake in a beer sommelier course in Kaltenhausen. But it isn\u2019t something that\u2019s done overnight and involves quite a bit of studying, as Seeleitner explains. He is a training manager and speaker as well as a judge at several different international beer competitions.<\/p>\n

But back to the best thing about beer: drinking it. As a beer sommelier, is one obliged to do more spitting than drinking, as it is the case with wine tasting? \u201cNo, we don\u2019t spit anything out,\u201d says Seeleitner, \u201cour beer is way too precious for that. Besides, you can only truly taste beer if you actually swallow it. Why? Well, the answer is simple: the taste buds for the bitter flavours are located in the back of the mouth.\u201d<\/p>\n

Very well, we say, and quickly get scolded for attempting to drink straight from the bottle. \u201cThat way you miss out on the foam.\u201d<\/p>\n

The radler: a refreshing alternative<\/h2>\n

But isn\u2019t the foam just decoration and doesn\u2019t it bother some people while drinking? \u201cThat is true, the foam is there for purely aesthetic reasons. But a nice foam is also a sign that we did everything right during the brewing process and that the glass has been maintained appropriately.\u201d<\/p>\n

By the way, the foam will, ideally, be four centimetres high upon pouring it to be perfect. And there\u2019s another argument for enjoying one\u2019s beer from the glass: only then the beer\u2019s aroma gets to unfold properly, which \u2014 depending on the type of beer \u2014 can either have a more malt or hop-based flavour, or even a flavour originating from the substances that, with the help of the yeast, came to be during fermentation. Caramel-like, roasted, flowery, fruity and an endless number of nuanced and finely adjusted flavours.<\/p>\n

The brewmaster doesn\u2019t mind a good radler, a 50:50 mixture of beer and sparkling lemonade popular in German-speaking regions. He doesn\u2019t react with horror this time around. \u201cNevertheless, a lighter beer with less alcohol would actually be more appropriate. But even I enjoy a sour radler here and then, it\u2019s a nice and refreshing alternative to beer.\u201d Incidentally, Seeleitner tells us that there are even great beer cocktails.<\/p>\n

Enjoyment in moderation<\/h2>\n

Beer, Seeleitner says, is a very healthy beverage if enjoyed in moderation. Additionally, beer stands for comfort. \u201cHaving a beer with good friends, leaning back and relaxing, it\u2019s just a great thing every once in a while.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
