      MANY BRITISH MEN CONSIDER themselves beer experts. It doesn’t matter if their wisdom is derived entirely from what’s on offer at their local pub or in the drinks aisle at Tesco; they know a good pint when they taste it. Beer is among the pub bore’s f

      ALL ABOUT BLITZ BEER

      A Concise Guide

      Translated by the Author

      First Edition

      March 2014

      © Mad Olsen, 2014

      Cover Art: © Jiuling Pasternak

      ISBN-Nr. 978-1-304-98495-1

      Original German Edition

      © Mad Olsen: Rund ums Blitzbier (2014)

      For Richard,

      …who desperately wanted to know. 

      And Bobbo,

      …a dear and solid friend for many years.

      WARNING

      This guide was written exclusively for connoisseurs, and friends of beer (herein referred to as Beer Friends) respectively, with the purpose of clarifying a phenomenon whose closer inspection has long become overdue, and thus avoiding future uncertainty when applied.

      All others, especially group beer drinkers, are dissuaded from buying this little compendium, especially if they are receiving medical treatment, suffering from circulatory disorders and stomach troubles, insomnia or other – above all psychical – trauma.

      Claims on account of distinct deterioration of already existing and increasingly afflicting ailments asserted and magnified after perusal of this guide are strictly repudiated.

      Preface for the English Edition

      This book was originally written from a German point of view. More and more craft beer breweries have taken the stand against the big beer groups, the industry beer giants. This phenomenon can be witnessed in the United States too, and in Great Britain the CAMRA movement has had a tremendous success story.

      Blitz beer is a term that has been discussed for quite some while. The uncertainty of what it actually is has led to severe misinterpretations, even on the Internet. As blitz beer also marks a kind of abyss between craft and group beers, it was the intention of the author right from the outset, to take the opportunity of giving an overview of what this term is, and is all about.

      The craft beer recommendations given in chapter six are those introduced to the German readers, but may be interesting for others as well, since many beer connoisseurs make the purpose of a trip to Germany for this reason alone, and a lot of young up-and-coming brewers are from English-speaking countries studying the basics of brewing in Berlin, Germany. The author hopes that this little compendium will contribute something to the vast knowledge of beer in the world where English is spoken.

      Mad Olsen, March 2014

      Introduction

      There is eco power and fast food, minute steak, daylight saving time … and blitz beer. Recently it has become something that more and more beer connoisseurs have started to take an interest in. Questions regarding blitz beer have become more imminent than ever before and only a few people have come up with reliable answers, but more than once, doubts have arisen as to whether the questions have been sufficiently clarified.

      So, it was inevitable that voices were raised, loudly, and the true creator of this lovely expression was politely asked to unveil the secret once and for all to provide clarity, and with it, legal certainty for any man and woman whenever or wherever this expression shall be applied.

      For those
