PREMIUM UNFILTERED LAGER NOW ON TAP
Premium Lager is Unfiltered with the Rich Taste of Hops.
H
ofbräuhaus Las Vegas now has Premium Unfiltered lager on tap, a premium
beer that is unfiltered in the brewing process to let beer drinkers enjoy the
rich taste of hops. Premium Unfiltered lager will be available at the
Hofbräuhaus Las Vegas only while supplies last. So hurry in and try this unique
and creative beer before it’s gone.
Premium Unfiltered lager is a traditional German style beer that dates back to at
least the Middle Ages. It is matured unbunged (the beer is exposed) in deep
vaults. The final product is a smooth, naturally cloudy beer that is rich in vitamins
from the yeast with a crisp taste of hops. Premium Unfiltered lager is best served
between 40 and 45 degrees Fahrenheit.
“Premium Unfiltered lager is one of our tasty seasonal beers that will be
available at Hofbräuhaus Las Vegas,” said Stefan Gastager, Hofbräuhaus
Las Vegas President.
spotlight
Visitors to Hofbräuhaus Las Vegas can enjoy beer
that Bavarians have been drinking for over 400 years.
In addition to seasonal beers, the Hofbräuhaus Las
Vegas regularly serves three distinctive beers
imported from Hofbräu München, Germany. Originally
brewed only for Bavarian royalty, Hofbräu Original,
Hofbräu Dunkel and Hofbräu Hefe Weizen are always
available at Hofbräuhaus Las Vegas.

HOFBRÄUHAUS LAS VEGAS GOOD TIMES
THE PURITY LAW
The process of making and preserving beer.
The keys to brewing the perfect batch of Hofbräu beer are
simple: no preservatives and abiding by Bavaria’s beer Purity
Law, established in 1516. Hofbräu has never strayed from this
formula for nearly 500 years.
The Purity Law stipulated the beer in Bavaria can only be made
with three ingredients: pure water, barley and hops. Of course,
to Hofbräu, the single most important ingredient in our beer is
the water, which comes from a 490-foot deep well outside
Munich, Germany. The well at the brewery taps into a
15,000-year-old underground aquifer from the last Ice Age,
untouched and used exclusively for brewing beer.
This water then makes its way to Hofbräu’s state-of-the-art brewery
where it is filtered to remove any unwanted minerals.
The various types of barley malt, each designated for use in a
different type of Hofbräu beer, are drawn from 10 malt silos around
the brewery with a combined capacity of 675 metric tons. The malts
are first crushed in a special malt mill, mixed with water and boiled
in a large vat called a mash hopper. From there, the crushed malt
then is mixed with warmed brewing water and slowly cooked.
Later, this mix is taken out; the liquid (called wort) is separated
from spent grains, and finally cooled in separate large tanks.
Eventually, specially produced strains of yeast are added under
scientific conditions to begin the actual fermentation process. This
is followed by careful filtering, maturation, monitoring and storage.
Fun beer fact:
The foamy white
head formed when a
beer is first poured
is caused by the
protein, which is
pushed out of
suspension by the
bubbles.
