Book: Bottom-fermented and Dark 24,90 €

Sat, 28 Feb 2026 10:53:13 +0100

In it, the two authors Thomas Kraus-Weyermann and Horst Dornbusch, internationally known and renowned experts in brewing and malting, deal exclusively with one of the oldest types of beer in the world: dark lager.

This group of beers owes its origins to a combination of climatic, biogeographical, biogenetic and political coincidences that occurred in the Bavarian foothills of the Alps during the late Renaissance.

In "Untergärig und Dunkel," the authors embark on a historical search for clues to the emergence of dark beers.

To the modern beer drinker and brewer, it may seem self-evident that, in addition to the light beers mainly brewed today, there are also dark beer styles, as is natural. Natural? - Far from it, if you look at the origins of beer brewing.

Indeed, one can assume that the ancient beers - for lack of color sources - were all light. The color of beer is mainly linked to malting technology. And color first came into beer when people began drying their malt with direct-fired kilns.

This was first done around the 9th century in advanced monastery breweries.

However, the historical development of dark lagers is only an introduction to the subject - which is thrilling in a detective story way; in further chapters, the authors provide basic biochemistry and comprehensive information on the ingredients.

The book gives the brewer a total of 41 recipes, all of which were designed specifically for this work.

Half of them come from large and small craft breweries in the U.S. and Canada, the other half from the Weyermann® Malzfabrik brewery in Bamberg - some of them on specially made medieval brewing equipment replicas.

Beer has never been talked about as much as it is today.

For hobby brewers, aficionados, but also sommeliers, it's always about the same questions:
How does the beer taste and smell? What are the aroma, color and carbonation like? How did it become what it is? What ingredients and brewing process are behind it? What does it go with? In his 2nd book, Jan Brücklmeier explains in his easy-going yet profound way how maximum enjoyment is achieved, how beer is tasted and combined, and what constitutes aroma, taste and smell. The brewing engineer also gives an overview of the most important beer styles and shows how to brew them in sophisticated recipes on a 20-liter scale.

Buch: Bier, Brauereien und Wirtshäuser in Franken 20,00 €

Sat, 11 Apr 2026 11:37:03 +0200

Beer, breweries, and taverns, together with their associated product and pleasure advertising, are part of our cultural history. This applies especially to Franconia but also to other European regions. Advertising, as the example of “Veldensteiner” from Neuhaus an der Pegnitz shows, can indeed be stimulating as part of a new cultural history (“Try it, then you’ll feel it!”).

In a well‑founded and innovative manner, eight authors shape their contributions to the now ninth FAG brochure. Chronologically, they range from the Middle Ages to the present. In terms of content, they open up a broad panorama that extends from the oldest breweries in Franconia to the role of taverns and mills, brewing rights, the malt and hops trade, and political beer conflicts, all the way to the structural transformation of the beer landscape during industrialization and the ensuing global globalization.

Typical beer cities such as Bamberg, Bayreuth, Fürth, or Kulmbach naturally play a special role.

With contributions by Günter Dippold, Christoph Gunkel, Thomas J. Hagen, Marina Heller, Christian Kestel, Astrid Schneck, Birgit Speckle, and Wolfgang Wüst.
