Eisbier , (English. Ice beer ), is the name for top- or bottom-fermented beer that is stored extremely cold. This makes the taste of the beer milder. The term came up in Canada in the 1990s, based on German beers called Eisbock .

The ice beer is a very light and mild beer. The fermentation process for this beer requires a high level of technical effort. After the brewing process is complete, the young beer is stored at extremely low temperatures. This creates small ice crystals that bind the bitter substances in the beer. These crystals are then filtered out, which gives the beer its particularly mild taste. Ice beer usually has an alcohol content of over 5% and an original wort content of at least 11 percent.
