differences
The quality and composition of the brewing water are decisive for the characteristics of a beer, which is why beers from different regions used to have different tastes. Today this is hardly the case any more due to various processing methods. A decisive criterion is the mineral content of the brewing water, which makes a significant contribution to the quality of beers. The pH value also plays an important role here.
