Brewing expertise that brewers in Germany are known for

Following this, the expert mashing process secures each beer’s balanced sweetness, colour and flavour.
The mash is moved to the lautering tun, followed by adding hops.
Another essential step when brewing Bitburger beers is the main fermentation process.
This can last up to seven days, allowing the beers to age and develop a fresh, young beer character, together with a premium quality.
The Bitburger brewery uses a two-tank approach, ensuring the beer ferments and ages to perfection.
Then, before every beer is bottled, it is filtered once more to stabilise the flavour
