Brewed by Bitburger Brauerei
Style: Pilsener
Bitburg, Germany.
Founded in 1817 by Johann Wallenborn, Bitburger brauerei is a large German brewery founded in 1817 with its headquarters in Bitburg, in the state of Rhineland-Palatinate, southwest Germany, bordering France and Luxembourg. The brewery is now in its 7th generation of ownership.
“Bitte ein Bit” is the company’s well known slogan. it means “A Bit, please” or more literally, “Please, a bit!”
Their Pils is one of the most popular beers in Germany and number one beer for draft (as advertised, “Deutschlands Fassbiermarke Nr. 1”). It’s not just popular in Germany, it is also shipped to over 30 countries worldwide.
High profile sponsorship from the company includes a stint with the German National Football Team from 1992 until right up to this year 2018. The company also memorably sponsored the Benetton-Renault Formula 1 team in the years 1994 and 1995, which were specially poignant for the brand as it was also the time that German driver Michael Schumacher won the Formula One championship in both of those seasons.
Review: 0,5l in a nice white can of Bitburger Premium Pils: ABV: 4.8% vol
Nice white can with the iconic logo from Bitburger, “Bitte ein Bit”, yeah sure why not!
On pour I got a very fluffy, very frothy white head, a pretty big head initially.
A good bit of carbonation going on, a million bubbles percolating throughout the beer, a nice sparkling yellow looking beer. Some lacing left behind, head dies afterwards.
Very fluffy head, and a light clear yellow coloured beer with some slight lacing. Ok as a looker, not bad.
Had a nice faint lagery smell, a soft light malty aroma and some grains, ok.
Initial taste was one of lovely big creamy mouthfuls.
Got a small bit of a skunky taste but it’s ok, not enough to be bothersome, and the beer has a small kick to it which I like.
This beer reminds me of an old style lager of yesterday, not too fancy or flashy and gets the basics right, plain and simple.
Has a nice tinge to it, bit lemony as well but I like it, gives it character.
Get a lot in the can. All good.
Second can:
Great big mouthfuls, nice and smooth.
“That” taste, has a bite to it and hoppy, but I like it, lingers.
Not a downer, something to saviour and slowly enjoy instead. Had a nice array of soft flavours and well balanced with the hops and malts. Yeah I liked it, a good beer to chill with and relax. Will buy again.
Could feel the alcohol. Had a bit of a head the next day.
Privatbrauerei Fritz Egger is a private brewery from Austria. 
Smell is light, malty. Very slight on the nose, nearly odourless in fact! Smell is beery and fruity. 
The company was founded on September 6, 1888 by five citizens from Flensburg. They had everything they needed in place for a good well run brewery, an ideal site with an underground glacier spring with crystal-clear water for brewing (Which they still use today) and a way of obtaining the ice needed (in the days before refrigeration) for the lagering cellars. Today it is still mainly held by the founder families of Petersen and Dethleffsen.
A beer that I spotted for sale in my local Aldi. A cheapish 6 pack. 
Taste, oh a surprise….a very unique taste there, very yeasty. Also very bitter, very hoppy, fuck me.
SAB over time came to dominate not just South Africa, but most of the continent of Africa, and through a series of acquisitions and joint ventures throughout the 1990s, SAB gained a foothold in various countries in Africa, Eastern Europe (Hungary and Czech Rep.) and Asia (China and India). This was a definite process of a company from a “developing nation” buying breweries from countries that had similar geo-political, infrastructural and business issues. Success in these emerging markets showed that SAB could venture into the “Developed world”, such as in Italy and the US. Working in South Africa and in developing countries first was very beneficial as it helped the company come up with numerous innovative ways to deal with lack of infrastructure, supports, and skill shortages. It also made the company more open to take risks. The company also invested in other lucrative markets, such as running hotels and casinos, and diversified into the food industry (coffee, tea, and food products), manufacturing and retail (including green grocers, furniture factories and stores, shoe factories and stores, and clothing stores). This was a company that had its nose in every nook and cranny of SA society!
Back to Castle Brewery. Castle Lager sponsors a host of sporting teams and events, from the main sponsor of “Bafana Bafana”, the national football team, to the South African Cricket Team, the South African Rugby Team, ie, the “Springboks”, and a host of others. 
Has a nice piercing smell of sweet corn, and a lager type aroma, very malty, grainy and lemony. Ok on the nose.
Tuborg, originating in Denmark, is available in more than 70 countries in the world. It is also brewed in Hamburg in accordance with the German Purity Law of 1516.
The Germany-brewed Tuborg “Premium Quality” Pilsener. Coming in a nice looking green bottle with a rather distinctive logo. The crown representing the fact that the beer was “official court supplier of the Danish court” since 1914, as they state on their website. 
On taste, I got nice big mouthfuls at the start that were a bit hoppy and I could really feel the grains, not a bad initial taste.
v. who just recently agreed to sell it on to a Hessian financial investment company, CK Corporate Finance (
The beer is one of the most popular beers in Germany but especially popular in East Germany, as Saxony-Anhalt was part of the old Soviet bloc of the GDR.
sharp for me.
Trinidad’s economy used to rely solely on sugar and oil production with little much else. In 1947, the Caribbean Development Company Limited (CDC) was formed by British native, Sir Gerald Wight, then Chairman of Alstons Company Limited (now McEnearney Alstons Limited), who founded the brewery in the hope of trying to boost the economy of Trinidad with something different. In 1950 the CDC launched its award winning Carib Lager beer.
Mine was a 5% abv but I see some places you can get 5.2%
On nose I get a good lagery malty smell, very beery with a lot of citrus. 
United Breweries Group is a major Indian conglomerate company with its core business centered on beverages, aviation (Kingfisher Airlines!), chemicals and fertilizers, and investments in various other sectors. They even have a F1 team, Force India, and also have a football team, Kingfisher East Bengal F.C, in the Indian League, based in Kolkata. 
The company markets beer under the Kingfisher brand, and owns various other brands of alcoholic beverages. It is India’s largest producer of beer. UB also financed a takeover of the spirits business of the rival Shaw-Wallace company, giving it a majority share of India’s spirits business.
Like the logo of the beer, a nice and striking picture of a Kingfisher. 
Taste is ….bit citrusy and very, very hoppy, not smooth anyway.
It was founded in 1878 by Robert Leicht. Leicht was a progressive entrepreneur, open to technical innovations, so much so that the brewery very soon had electric light, an artificial ice cooling machine, a cable car, an atomized bottling plant and much more, and in 1897 was the first German beer to be delivered motorized, with a truck from Gottlieb Daimler. At one stage the company had the largest bottling plant in the world!
The ‘Black Forest Dark beer’ coming in a nice enough dark bottle with a fiip top.
Sweet malty taste. Very smooth, but overall not a whole lot of flavours or tastes though.
