Nutrient beer
Nutrient beer is a special type of beer .
This dark beer is characterized by the fact that it is particularly nutritious and malty. The taste is accordingly sweet. With 1 to 1.4% alcohol , it is significantly lower in alcohol than normal beers and also differs from malt beers , which are alcohol-free. The low alcohol content is due to the fact that brewing is predominantly bottom-fermented and fermented very slowly.
For many years, nutritional beer was a special tonic (“dietetic malt drink”) for the sick, the weak, convalescents and nursing mothers. In order to increase the effect, it was occasionally additionally heated and whisked with raw egg.
Many nutrient beer breweries (such as Hacker-Pschorr in 2008) have ceased production in recent years. Nutrient beer has almost disappeared from the German market. Products of this type are currently still being offered by various East German breweries under the name Doppelcaramel .
