Windhoek Lager Case of 24 Description


Windhoek Lager is brewed in accordance with the Reinheitsgebot of Germany which prohibits the use of any ingredients other than Barley Malt, Hops,Yeast and water. 

Reinheitsgebot - What is Reinheitsgebot? 
In 1516, Duke Wilhelm IV of Bavaria introduced the Reinheitsgebot Purity Law to restrict the grain used in beer. This set a new standard of excellence for the brewing of beer. 

To comply with the Reinheitsgebot, only the following three natural ingredients may be used to brew beer:
• Malted barley (Malz) which gives the beer its colour contributes to the taste and provides nutrients for the yeast during fermentation. 
• Hops (Hopfen) which gives the beer its distinctive, fresh and bitter flavour and acts as a natural preservative. 
• Water which brings it all together.

Although specific brewer’s yeast is used to start fermentation, it is all filtered out before beer is bottled.
