Holsten Premium
Monday, March 3rd, 2008
Holsten Premium is a lager that is brewed and bottled in the northern German port city of Hamburg by the Holsten Brauerei AG. Created from a masterful slow brewing process in Germany this beer is imported into Australia by McWilliam’s Wines.
Having a sweet taste and smell makes this beer appealing. When served cold it goes down smoother than a bald scalp and leaves your taste buds feeling refreshed and wanting more. Most of this would have a lot to do with the beer being brewed in strict accordance with the German Purity Law of 1516. The law stipulates in no uncertain terms that all ingredients used in the brewing process are natural and that no chemical additives or preservatives are permitted. This fortunately for us makes for a very smooth tasting beer and one that does not leave you with a head full of nails the morning after.
The downside of this beer is that it is not readily available in most pubs and clubs but you can purchase it from your local 1st Choice or Dan Murphy’s. If you’re after a relaxed night in and want a smooth beer that goes down well time after time, Holsten Premium is the beer for you.

I just discovered that my local Woolies supermarket stocks Holsten alcohol free beer. It develops a very nice and dense foamy head but in my opinion it tastes a tad bland. A lot like Corona which is definitely bland on my taste buds. If you love Corona, well, you’ll probably love Holsten alcohol free beer.
So far my favourite alcohol free beer is from the Warsteiner Brewery, but while this beer was once stocked at Dan Murphy’s, they now only stock the standard alcoholic Warsteiner beer, at least at my local Dan Murphy’s store.
