Brewery Faust Kräusen

Kräusen is a term from the vocabulary of brewing. It describes the beer wort at a certain point in the main fermentation. In this phase, the wort foams and forms an impressive head thanks to the carbon dioxide produced. There are different stages of crimping and it is assumed that the origin of the term goes back to the appearance of the foam: due to the many large bubbles, it looks like curly, frizzy hair. However, the term Kräusen is also used for a type of beer: After the beer has finished fermenting, fresh green beer is added to it. This is still in the fermentation process and gives the already fermented beer a little kick and extra carbon dioxide.

Brauhaus Faust also brews a Kräusenbier like this. Their version is wonderfully naturally cloudy and comes in swing-top bottles. A fine honey aroma rises from the golden splendor and acts as a harbinger for the full-bodied and malty taste. Kräusen is a mild and fresh beer that delivers a beautiful balance of flowery hops and soft malt. The well-balanced barley juice goes perfectly with hearty meat dishes or grilled food. Meat, fish, cheese or vegetables with a smoky note and hearty aroma elicit the beer's delicate sweetness and playful hop nuances. The gentle bitterness rounds off the enjoyment harmoniously.
