Italian lager beer specialty best production and brands
For an aperitif, nothing better than an Italian lager beer, a bottom-fermented beer, obtained using Saccharomyces carlsbergensis yeasts, with a good bitterness point and thirst-quenching ability. Usually pale, if you are looking for the best “blonde” suitable for any occasion, you will find numerous brands, including artisanal ones, of Italian lager beer.
A beer defined as “lager” derives its name from the German word “to store“, referring to the places where the beverage was stored in winter to allow “self-filtration.” Produced in Germany since the 1500s, there are multiple specimens, with Italian recipes, able to win international acclaim thanks to their specific characteristics. This is the case, for example, of Theresianer, recognized with silver medals two consecutive times (2009 and 2010) at the prestigious World Beer Championship in Chicago.
Straw-colored, perfect for appetizers and first courses is the Premium Castello, the flagship of the historic Pedavena brewery, a product characterized by delicate bitter notes, full and balanced taste. Well known among Italian lagers are certainly Forst and Ichnusa, mass-produced but equally of quality.
