What could be nicer on a hot day than having a delicious cold drink with friends? Especially after several hours of exhausting work, when you really want to freshen up. As the men probably already guessed, we will talk about beer - dark, light, barley, wheat, unfiltered, live and many other varieties are presented in large quantities on supermarket shelves.

Among the huge assortment, choosing the right drink can sometimes be difficult. Then you should pay attention to something new and crystal clear, produced in a picturesque village in the mountains of Austria. Anyone who has tried at least once Edelweiss unfiltered beer - a classic wheat ale, will never be able to forget its mild taste and light floral aroma. All the freshness of the Alpine mountains, the cooling coolness of the melt water was carefully collected and preserved by the manufacturers by placing it in a glass bottle.

Flower of love

Since the early 2000s, the world-famous company Heineken International has been producing the drink. At the K altenhausen brewery, a delicious drink is made, named after a flower common inhigh mountain regions of the country. It is the first brewery to start brewing wheat beer over 350 years ago at the foot of the Alps. The brand "Edelweiss" was created quite recently - in 1986, but has already managed to fall in love with many. The plant is located in the crevices of the mountains, where the beer is cooled in a natural way under the influence of circulating air currents. In places where the peace is rarely disturbed by man and where a beautiful flower grows high in the mountains. Maybe that's why so many beautiful legends are associated with the plant, after which Edelweiss beer is named.

Edelweiss is a symbol of love, happy and long life, purity and freshness. One of the stories tells about a beautiful magical girl who lived in the mountains. She fell in love with the earthly youth with all her heart, but she could not go down to him. An insurmountable obstacle stood in their way. Where the bitter tears of a lover fell, flowers immediately grew as a symbol of immaculate and sincere love.

The company is gradually updating its assortment. Manufacturers, focusing on the future, are trying to combine the traditional quality of the drink with modern trends and the rhythm of life. The brand produces several excellent beers:

• amber (Hofbräu) - golden hue with banana flavor and barely noticeable sourness;
