The history of beer
Brewing is one of the oldest processes known to and perfected by man. As with many other items of daily use, the Chinese are credited with being the first ones to brew a type of beer called Kui . This was almost 5000 years ago. The humble beer has evolved over the years and is now brewed in almost all countries of the world.
Beer in today sworld
Depending on the region of the world where the beer originates, there are differences in the strength, taste and colour of the beer. Australia is a large producer of beer, as well as being a large consumer. As per a 2004 statistic, Australia was the fourth largest consumer of beer in the world after the Czech Republic, Ireland and Germany.
Many different types of beer are available on the market today and light beer or non-alcoholic beer has become very popular. Such beers have been popular in Europe for a long time now and the Australian market, too, is waking up to the benefits of the same.
One of the most popular ultra light beers in Europe is Schlossgold, originating in Austria, which has a fresh taste with the quality of a full-strength beer. Whilst the beer does contain 0.4 percent of alcohol, it is not liquor and is considered a non-alcoholic drink by most of the authorities. Therefore, Schlossgold non- lcoholic beer is a potential product for all retailers, small or large, without a liquor licence. You can also drink and drive with Schlossgold. It is currently available in Woolworth s supermarkets in NSW, QLD and VIC and in clubs.
